But, we should be worried about a “lawless society” if we defund the police, I thought.

Lawlessness is not equally distributed. The wealthy and their minions are pretty much free to do what they want to others, as long as they don’t do it to someone more wealthy.
I’m reminded of the case in Colorado of the hedge fund manager who was driving drunk and killed a cyclist, who was a local district attorney. No charges were filed.

This was a crime committed by a white person against a white person in an all-white area of the city. Even when they’re not being racist in a particular moment, the police still cannot be trusted to do their job, so why give them so much funding?

Maybe the funds should be assigned based upon the lowest number of civilians being shot?
