What does defund the police actually mean? Here's what protesters and activists are talking about

As protests for justice for George Floyd continue across the nation, one idea has gained a lot of speed in mainstream media: defund the police. As reported by CNN, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti agreed to redirect up to $150 million in funding from the police to the community, which is a step in the right direction. The bigger change is happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as city council members said they plan to both defund and disband their city’s police force in a shift to community-based approaches. Those are two considerably different strategies, but both fall under the umbrella of police reform and defunding.
