Absolutely! There's no reason the police couldn't just be respectful and nonviolent. Many police forces in the country already manage it. That's why I think "defund the police" is self-defeating messaging; many people understand it to mean that reform is impossible and the only way to reduce police violence is to reduce police presence.
