Except police spending increased. And we lock up more people than any country on Earth.
Again, Chicago has a murder problem because you idiots made us get rid of our sensible gun laws.
Except defunding the police means that police / law enforcement is defunded. That means there is less spending for police / law enforcement.
Simple concepts expressed by meaningful terms escape you.
As everyone expected in the Dem / Marxist Hell hole of Los Angeles:
Defund the police encounters resistance as violent crime spikes | CNN
One year since a nationwide movement sparked calls for slashing police funding in favor of other nontraditional forms of public safety, it's not clear whether any city achieved anything resembling what protesters demanded: massively defunded or abolished police departments.

''The city of Los Angeles cut its police department budget last July by $150 million, limiting overtime pay and reducing staffing to its lowest levels in over a decade. The cuts were made during a summer filled with protests against police brutality and followed an uproar over Mayor Eric Garcetti’s original budget proposal to increase police spending to $1.86 billion from $1.73 billion the year before.
However, almost a year later, Garcetti is now seeking to increase the LAPD’s budget by 3% to $1.76 billion. Like in many major cities, homicides and other forms of violent crime in Los Angeles have risen sharply in the past year, and the LAPD is facing an unexpected staffing shortage''
