 i like the idea of "let's try emphasising private security and emergency services" over negative stuff like "defund the X"

it's what people have to do when the tax funded services fall into disarray, or are underfunded, or are corrupted by politics

tends to also result in people broadly refusing to care about restrictions on civillian access to weapons and other important technologies needed for private security, South Africa this is happening in real time over the last few years
