getting rid of a large portion of our law enforcement

I'm pretty certain neither party supports this. After 2020, every state and city, including dem-run ones increased police funding.

If you're talking about republicans complaining about the FBI because it went after Trump, they're just as likely to abolish prisons because some jan 6ers got convicted. These people like those institutions too much when they're doing their primary purpose of neutralizing leftist political movements.

Also you're not private property nor do you own significant capital. It's not your law enforcement.
