Nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, the African American man who was killed on May 25 while in police custody in Minneapolis, have featured a common rallying cry: "Defund the police." The concept of defunding law enforcement is rooted in the idea of eliminating funds for policing and redirecting that money to initiatives that directly serve communities, including education, healthcare and community programming.Music: 'Sauce Iike this' by CJ Harris
