The messaging isn't really that mixed. Folks mostly want the police to enforce and investigate more important matters than they do now (speeding vs overly tinted windows, for example, or home invasions vs sleeping in a park).

edit: removed snark.

Ok, where does theft, assault, property crime, shoplifting, and trespassing fit in our hierarchy of enforcement?

Higher or lower than speeding?

because many of the "defund police" were a direct result of police enforcement actual violent crime.... not them attempting to enforce "sleeping in the park" laws

Also as a side note, overly tinted windows (speaking as someone that drives a car with overly tinted windows) can be dangerous at night, more so than speeding.
