Defund the police doesn’t mean no police! It means not giving them so much money when that money is better spent on things that actually reduce crime. 99% of all blue collar crime is due to poverty. Why only treat the symptoms when you can get to the root of the problem. If cops really want to stop crime they would be more interested in white collar crime as that has far more impact down the road than any other crime.
Then don’t say defund the Police, say that instead. I agree that the US needs to fix a lot of issues, and you need police but restructured.
“Defund the pice” sounds like take all the money away and get rid of police. That’s how many conservatives interpret it, and it’s used successfully to ridicule the left.

It’s not anyone’s job to educate and cater to willfully ignorant.
That attitude will get you a lot more ignorant people than you’d like
