I can't speak for extremists but I think it will be enough to hold cops to account for their actions.
In the case of the officer who shot Jacob Blake in the back, seven times (some might call that excessive force) in front of his kids was put on administrative leave after the incident. I don't know if or how that will change but I hope the police department there will hold that officer accountable for his actions.

Nobody I know is talking about defunding police or the military.
Well, I know Donald Trump and his RNC cohorts have brought it up saying it was a democrat policy, of course it is not and never was.
