This doesn’t really sound like “defunding police” at all. It sounds like merely shifting some of the resources used for municipal policing to social services, and perhaps easing on the enforcement end on some things.  Basically, the European model. In other words, very mild reformism (at best). And it only seems to apply on the local level and, presumably, only in poor and minority communities.
