He spoke on police abolition but it was conflated with defunding in the way the question was framed to him. But there are activists who drew a distinction between the two things and others who who didn’t. However the way he talked about “redefining” what the job is though went further than the way possibilities of reform are usually discussed by politicians at that level.
