Police work is less dangerous than you think it is relative to other jobs, and encouraging cops' action movie fantasies to the contrary might have something to do with their itchy trigger fingers. Besides which, the article itself says they're not going without law enforcement, just that they're replacing the police department with a ' “community-led” public safety program'. Most likely they're overstating a reform that's going to move their policing more in line with saner countries in the hopes that protesters will think they've gotten a bigger concession than they have and be satisfied.
