> I have never in my life heard or read anyone, of any social standing, political affiliation, education or station of life discuss the abolition of police entirely.

It was quite literally a slogan and rallying cry.

It quite literally wasn't. "Defund" is a different word from "abolish" and has a different meaning. Are you not aware of that difference?

Defund can mean both, many who chanted that clarified that they meant abolish. If you wanted people to not misunderstand then use a better word that is clear, since many who were on the pro "defund the police" meant abolish the police.

It is your own fault for using a bad slogan.
