Which is what SHOULD be said. But its not. Because those people dominating the headlines are those that want to literally defund and don't care what is left.

Some of them, yes, but that's not the consensus.
Just google "defund the police" and click on one of the many reputable explainers which include quotes from everyone including policymakers, sociologists, and activists, and you'll learn what it means.
The general consensus is also that the term being popularized is misleading, and detracts from the movement, because it allows people like yourself to dismiss it based on the name alone.
