Actually I was expecting much worse in terms of dodging the question. The first part of her answer reasonably addressed it, though of course when she talks to her crowds about ‘defunding the police’ I’m sure she means much more than demilitarization. (See my ‘motte and bailey’ comment from before).

Once she start trying to connect the dots between tanks and Floyd...I knew I needed a drink. If only there was a bartender around...

Kinda/sorta, although I was mostly joking. She was asked about de-funding police and one of her answers was that police departments don't need equipment like tanks.

Well yeah, I for one am not happy with the militarization of the police we’ve seen in the last 10-15 years.
If the call were ‘demilitarize the police’ I’d be on board.
I thought you meant she tied that directly to the Floyd case, which would be something to see.

I might ask the police why they think they need that.
Since 9/11 they plan on some scary scenarios, when they aren't writing parking tickets and killing

And not one adult will take on AOC? Just toss softball questions and let her fumble around for an answer.
I think years ago, there used to be leadership, even in the media. Would Huntly-Brinkly (sp) have asked questions starting with, "Whaddaya think about..." ?
Now, there's no leadership to be found. Seattle is perhaps the best example.
Idiots on the Left, silence from the old men on the Right.
Except Ax. Ax should be a reporter, a journalist. Always questioning.
Good on you, Ax! They would all tremble before you!! -

So I painfully rewatched, her order of responses went like this:
Question:
Why defund the police when statistics show it helps reduce crime?Answer(s):
- Funds are being used for tanks and war-like weaponry.
- We can fund healthcare, housing, and education with savings from de-funding police.
- Why is the budget for police the #1 budget item, and greater than health care, housing, and youth combined. (I have not fact-checked that statistic, but I doubt it's accurate)

Careful criticizing!
By the time she is President, there may be technology to find this thread, determine who you are, and drag you to the local reeducation center.
