No, the individual cops mostly know this is bullshit and are being forced to stand down by the politicians.

There's no chance that this aforementioned "experiment" is going to entail severely reduced police anywhere. Here's how it'll go down, and look forward to this hitting a city near you, because it'll end up spreading to almost every blue urban area in the next five years. It'll be a comprehensive rollback of everything Bratton figured out about statistics-based police resource deployment, stripped individual officer authority and restricted approaches to specific situations (which will heavily favor offenders), gutted police rolls replaced with officers shepherded through the academies with their numbers fudged, and policies that demand the ignoring of small crimes (because ray-cism), which the (previously-mentioned) statistical approach already figured out actually contains and can even eliminate larger and more violent crimes. So Saint Floyd is going to give blue cities two decades of late 1970s crime again.

THAT'S the only experiment you're going to see.

And it won't touch a single public sector union, because they're all laundering dues (among other corrupt endeavors) in league with the DNC, and lord knows won't compromise their own "grassroots" (membership: required!) organizations.

Cops don't operate autonomously, they take orders from command. I'm on the side of cops who are able to work under competent command that give them the tools needed to enforce the law.

Cops in Berkley, CA are not the same as cops in Ashville, TN. Police in San Antonio, TX are different than in NYC, NY because of leadership.

Let leftist mayors defund their police. They've emasculated them as it is already.
