However, if defunding at that level becomes a trend and neighborhood cops just “disappear”, then I think we are down to vigilante justice.

Professional police forces are less than 200 years old. The City of Paris had proto-police in the 1660's created by the King of France, but policing agencies in the modern sense were created in England in 1829. So human beings protected themselves for many thousands of years before the concept of police began. We can do it again if the government gets out of the way.
