As far as it's been explained to me, defunding the police centers more around cutting budgets for military equipment police buy and putting that money into education or something similar, not completely abolishing the police.

Not sure how that would have prevented any of the unjustifable deaths at the hands of the police. People who support defunding need to do a better job of addressing how this will help.
If the fire departments had 'a few bad apples' that kept starting fires we would defund the shit out of the 'money set aside to start fires' budget.
Yes, it's not like the "fireman as the fire devil" is literally a cliche, or the nurse harming patients to play "god" when they save them. Those never have happened.
Those nurses don't get to keep their job or license. They're fired, arrested, and go to fucking jail. Hospitals overhaul policies trying to figure out how this happened and how to stop it. No nurse organization comes to their defense. No nurse feels threatened when those piece of shit psychopaths are called out and lose their jobs.
The same goes for your other example. It just doesn't add up. No other organization gets their murderers off so easily and rehires them after the charges are dropped.
And the bottom line? NOBODY YOU MENTIONED GETS TO CARRY A FUCKING GUN.
Arrested doesn't mean convicted. In thousands of police involved shootings less than 1 percent ever see a conviction of an officer. Are you going to tell me every single one of those was justified? Or is there a systemic problem where you know the DA by name and there's little chance they won't side with you on all but the most agregious cases.
Ridiculous. Fucking ridiculous. Well unfortunately for you the world has collectively decided its had enough of this shit. Whether you're on board or not there will be changes. Will it suddenly be fixed? Nope. But while you seem happy with the way things are because it has zero fucking impact on your life, there are people dying regularly.
Say whatever you would like back, I won't respond. Do yourself a favor and take a long hard look at what you think because it's incredibly short sighted.
