wellll… defund the police. Those are very different things. Taking money away from their protection and toys, for example, and putting it into training and non-police personal has been a major point of it.
A policing force that were not fundamentally corrupt in the way police are, would necessarily be an all new organisation with all new people, and it would not be called the police. Abolish the police and replace them with something better.
If the new police, whatever you want to call them, have the power to enforce laws then they will be subject to all the same pressures as current police. Power corrupts!
The fact remains though is that there’s a very large number of people in the US who want the police to commit the violence they have. They’re voting for the politicians who pass these laws.

They won’t be subject to being an organisation descended from slave catchers
You can find many of the same problems with police in other countries which don’t have the same ancestry.
