This tweet actually demonstrates we have not adequately funded public education.

Want to stick it to the people trying to #DefundthePolice? How about this: park illegally, get a ticket, and pay it. All the funds go to RE-fund the police. Whos with me?

(40,212 posts)4. Matt Schlapp's tweet is moronic and wrong.
Revenue from parking tickets in most jurisdictions go into a General Fund, not to the police.
If the ticket involve an unpaid parking meter then the funds are often used to pay the contractor that maintains the parking meter/facility.
