Citation _very much_ needed.

In my experience this is not a position of the left, beyond maybe some fringe <0.1% groups.

Stating that as a "position of the left" as a fact merely reinforces what the GP said: "I think the likely explanation for this conundrum is that people don't support <whatever strawman of the week is used to attack a caricature of a position>. "

This is the whole point we're arguing about up front. That activists have a oversized influence on what we discuss.

Less than half of black people support defunding or reducing the police presence but that conversation has smothered all discussions of more realistic and popular reform.

Would a link from someone who doesn't want the police abolished persuade you, or have you already decided those people on the left do not count?

There are views on all ends of the scale. Most, even conservatives want some police reform.

What a silly dichotomy. Just because you aren’t convinced by N=1 doesn’t mean you’ve closed your mind to a possibility. Can we grow up?

Leftists have been very clear they want police held accountable.
