Defund the police is a union vs union battle. Unions in California are splitting due to scarce pension funds. I know social workers who are pushing for more jobs in law enforcement while the nurses and social workers union has been muscling in on school jobs.
White suburbs use defund to keep pension funds in their own neighborhood. Clyburn correctly wants to get Blacks out of this debate, union battles do the Blacks no good. The battle is also within schools where the schools want their own union police force.
Police and fire are one of the three pillars of the unions, teachers being the other.
