On Tuesday, the Oscar-winning director spoke with Al Roker during Off the Rails on SiriusXM’s "Today Show Radio," where he said activists understand the meaning of "defund the police" — i.e., redistributing city budgets to invest in other departments and projects, specifically for people of color — and that it does not mean abolishing police departments.
