Well we can have a discussion about Minneapolis then. No other large city actually defunded the police. A few other cities talked about it but ended up continuing to fund at pre-BLM rates or higher. The real problem is still accountability of the police. They quit doing their jobs and no one is doing a damn thing about it.
Even Minneapolis ended up reversing their "defund the police" effort:
> Dealing the final blow to the local "defund" movement last year was a city council vote to essentially refund a cut they'd made the prior year. Mayor Jacob Frey is proposing another budget bump for the next two fiscal years.
As far as I'm aware, every single city that defunded its police to any extent - ended up with a major crime surge and then reversed itself. You can see in the article that Minneapolis was no exception to that rule.
