Ahem, your link actual says 'Defund the police' vs. Fortress America NOT "Defund the police gains momentum across US".
The story also states: "Defund the Police" does not ... mean taking all money that is currently spent on policing and doing something completely different with it.
And the story also states: One defund petition suggests reallocating $45 million in police funding, about a quarter of the mayor's suggested 2020 budget of $193 million.
Reading seems to be a great difficult for you.

Literally on the CNN homepage it says "Defund the police gains momentum across US" and the link takes you here:

What I said was exactly right. The CNN homepage said exactly why I posted. The text on the homepage does not always match the headline in the article.
I never said defund the police means taking away all money. In fact, in a subsequent post I complained about a proposed 12% reduction, which is smaller than the 25% reduction you mentioned.
Instead of trying to catch me in a typo, why don't you try to explain how a 25% reduction in the police budget would be beneficial?
