We never said as a majority that we wanted to remove the police entirely. We wanted to divest the police so that civil servants could take over non-violent crimes such as civil disputes, patrols, taking reports of MPs, theft, etc. If this is done, this allows the rest of the police force to focus on issues where we need them. This way, it won't take police 40 minutes to get somewhere. They won't already be busy. This, coupled with decriminalizing personal drug use, and setting up a budget for long-term treatment (not crash therapy, but actually titration therapy and verbal therapy) has had profound effects (people are already using it, some counties aren't taking the money (red states, and that's where a lot of our drugs are.) People are already benefitting from it.
