No it's not. Nobody said eliminate all funding.
Allow me to use a sports metaphor.
Currently, there are seven (7) officials on a football field to make sure the rules (laws) are enforced. Would players try to get away with more violations if there were say four (4) officials on the field? Would it become more dangerous for the players on the field? Would "criminal activity" increase or decrease?
Your effort to trivialize or detract from this dangerous effort is duly noted. You demand more crime, why? I have no clue except it seems to be a common denominator with Democrats today.
In line with your sports analogy, If 2 of those officials were charged with mowing the grass and another was responsible for water cans, it would make sense to transfer those responsibilities elsewhere. Cops will tell you they aren't trained to deal with crazies. Let others deal with that, and free up the cops to do what they do. If cops are needed, then call them.
Except you're now expanding the scenario to the entire community. All seven officials officiate only.
If you believe that there won't be disastrous results if unarmed social workers respond to domestic violence calls or making traffic stops, you are not living in reality.

Gunshot injuries skyrocketed to 157 from 47 in 2019, a 238 percent increase.
With a total of 205 shootings during the month, it was the bloodiest June in 24 years — going back to 1996, when the NYPD logged 236 incidents, the department said.
It’s an anti-crime wave. Gun violence exploded across the city after the NYPD disbanded its anti-crime unit of plainclothes cops on June 15, with three times as many shootings in the last two…
