First of all, it was defund not abolish. The point was to reduce the workload of the police to just dealing with criminal activity and not have them dealing with stuff better suited to others like medical professionals or counselors.
Both stances exist and called for a reduction of police.
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1opyOlgSzs8
Minneapolis mayor says "I do not support full abolition of the police" and the crowd tells him to "get the fuck out".
They ask him about "defunding police" and clarify that they mean "we don't want no more police". Hard to put it clearer.
Now, please, tell me again that there was no 'abolish police' crowd.
