I posted a direct quote where you said you were relying on anecdotal evidnce.
And "self proclaimed" anecdotal evidence is still 100% anecdotal evidence. If not please provide some reference to this definition to support your claim that it is not.

You claim that there are other possible interpretations does not disprove the clear implication of this quote "Police are gone" right after saying "fewer police are not the answer".

As protests over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis continue across the U.S., policing data from that city show one particularly stark change in behavior: a precipitous drop in the number of traffic stops.
The department has been making an average of 80% fewer traffic stops each week since May 25, the day of Floyd’s death,
“Suspicious person” stops, those outside the vehicle context that involve “someone who does not belong, appears out of place, or whose actions are suspect,” were down 39% since May 25.
