What slogan would you like instead? I think "Defund the police" is probably the most succinct and truthful slogan you could come up with. No matter what political goal you have, summing it up in 3 or so words is never going to give the full picture.
Yes, I agree that communicating clearly is important. But there's only so much you can do realistically.
what about “restructure the police”or “reform the police”?
Cowardice. They will not restructure unless forced. Reform is simply not enough, they are killing us. “Force the police to restructure” is too long. Abolish Police. Defund will suffice for now
People like you are all the right has to point to to sway moderate people who would otherwise be open to solving the problem to continue to ignore it. Messaging matters.
I’m not trying to sway moderates at least not online. That’s just silly and you know it. If you mean talking to people in your day to day life and organizing I’d argue the people I talk to about politics are very much police abolition over restructuring. You wouldn’t restructure ICE, SS. You restructure the housing market , Amazon and farms to feed people. You abolish ice, SS, military.
