De facto, not de jure. SFPD went AWOL for a few months. One can’t complain about that and then claim it would be better if they were fired.
(Also, your own chart shows a ‘20 dip.)

“De facto abolition of policing” or “dip”? Pick one!
Cops throwing a tantrum over a dip would seem to prove a point, too.
But cops throwing a tantrum causing a crime spike proves their worth.
You can’t advocate for abolishing cops and also complain about cops self abolishing.

If we pretend the spike didn't happen during COVID and in other countries, sure.

Sure you can, for the same reason I can get mad at my neighbor if they demolish a shed with a nuke rather than a screwdriver.
