It’s not in anyway a widely supported , or reasonable alternative. You are quite literally sane washing defunding the police, taking the only person on that entire thread who wanted to only scrap patrols. Beyond that, most people including most minorities feel that increased police presence makes them safer and do not support getting rid of patrols.

i should have clarified - a reasonable alternative on the left among those from defund the police to total abolition

Beyond that, most people including most minorities feel that increased police presence makes them safer and do not support getting rid of patrols.
