You're right. And yet, weirdly, it's the people who flew the Thin Blue Line flag who beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher. (If this reads like snark, I don't mean it that way; I'm interested in what you think about that observation.)

University antics operate in their own bubble.

A fraction want abolition, but they'd also plainly say so. "Defund" by definition doesn't mean abolish.

It does unless you expect them to work for free and pay for their own operations somehow.

The demands have been made abundantly clear: they want demilitarization, and other health-focused services to take over in areas where police response is overkill and inappropriate. That's literally it. This isn't hard to find.
