"Defund the police" doesn't mean salaries. It means stop outfitting them with weapons of war.

I see why you thought that's what I meant, but immediately following that I list several other potential solutions to overall bad policing. You can certainly defund the police, aka stop outfitting them with weapons of war, but it will not solve the fundamental problem of hiring bad candidates to make bad cops.
