What does the word "defund" mean in your world? According to Merriam-Webster it means "to withdraw funding from." So either the police will do more with less or they will do less with less which sounds a lot like eliminating or cutting back.

Please note that this "Libertarian publication partially subsidized buy(sic) Charles Koch" cited a recently published study that supports its position. Can you cite a study that supports your position?
