The cases of Ambler and Scott are among those police-involved deaths being revisited as a result of protests around the country calling for police department reform.

Christy Lopez, a professor at Georgetown University Law, explained to ABC News that the notion of defunding police does not mean stripping away law enforcement budget.

\"Defund the police does not mean zero zero out public safety budgets. What it means is taking money from law enforcement and reallocating it -- to the public services and programs that can do a more effective job at protecting our public safety,\" Lopez said.
