Did Hitler Defund and Eliminate Police Departments?

Pay attention to this interesting paragraph from the Holocaust Museum

"The Nazis came to power in Germany in January 1933 and established a dictatorship, ending the 12-year German experiment with democracy, the Weimar Republic. Yet the police, who had been charged with defending the Weimar Republic, were integrated relatively easily into the Nazi regime. There was neither a wholesale purge nor a wholesale resignation of policemen.

Most policemen in 1933 were not Nazis, though they were overwhelmingly conservative. They thought of themselves as neutral professionals and as impartial servants of the law. Their personal politics were supposed to be irrelevant to their duties. Yet members of the police proved willing to support a Nazi government that destroyed democracy in Germany. The police in particular and conservatives in general supported the Nazis in 1933. Conservatives came to view a Nazi dictatorship as a solution not just to the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic but to a whole series of professional difficulties peculiar to the police."

Hitler did not defund the police



Other than dog whistle postings on Facebook and other social media I doubt the OP can find any evidence for his outrageous attempt to link efforts to improve policing in the US, and BLM, to Nazis.

Who/what is your source?? If indeed Hitler COOPTED the Police, he would indeed have increased their funding as an enforcement arm of his regime. Which of course he did.
