I think the word “abolish” is unfortunate because it’s inaccurate.
To most people “abolish” means “it shall exist no longer” rather than “we’ll replace current police departments with reformed police departments along with possibly some budgetary changes”
It’s a bit of sloganeering as currently constructed, though admittedly the police need reforming and retraining especially deescallation with regard to mentally imbalanced, people as well as people who’re high and such.
