Those police officers saved lives by going door to door and evacuating people. They all deserve respect.
The Nashville bombing shows why defunding police is idiotic

Since we will have a new president next month, let's see what he thinks of this subject:
WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden told civil rights leaders in a meeting on Tuesday he thought Republicans used the "defund the police" movement to defeat Democrats in down-ballot races in the November election.
"That’s how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we’re talking about defunding the police. We’re not," Biden said in audio obtained by The Intercept. "We’re talking about holding them accountable."
Biden cautioned the use of rhetoric on policing that could hurt the Democrats running in the Georgia Senate runoffs, warning against getting "too far ahead of ourselves," but promised that police reform would happen with him in office.
"We’re talking about giving them money to do the right things. We’re talking about putting more psychologists and psychiatrists on the telephones when the 911 calls through. We’re talking about spending money to enable them to do their jobs better, not with more force, with less force and more understanding," Biden said.

No one is going to defund the police.

so this was a Republican idea.? What BS that is. It was a BLM idea. And they did pull funds from the police in Minneapolis. My OP was more about the bravery of those policemen than about politics.
