Selling Water While Black... and 8 Years Old

Usually you need a permit to sell anything, especially food products.
I think you need a permit to sell anything. Lemonade stands are apparently illegal too
Don't know about racism.....
But man, you'll always get a few busybodies like this. Just keep it moving lady.

The other day I was watching reckful live streaming trying to sell lemonade at a beach in California and some lady called the cops on him. I don't know what joy people get out of being so petty.
Ask yourself if she would have called over a white girl selling the water.
The answer is 99.9% "no".
Where do garage/yard sales fall under that. Pretty sure you don't apply for anything to do one.
Seriously, someone needed a police officer to do something (hopefully not shooting anyone) while this lady was wasting their time.
Y'all remember this?

You're right about people like that all over. Some old guy made a huge deal about me not putting all my items on the belt at Costco the other day :[ you're not even supposed too. Some people are just miserable assholes.
This however is racism.
I've never heard this before. Either it's never enforced or it varies by locale.
Also, how does she know they don't have a permit? She just assumed it?
That's just it, nobody really enforces it because it's of no harm. Normal people just mind there own business like they should. like F34R said, it's not a big deal to the point where most officers aren't worried about it.

I think the police actually can charge you for wasting their time in most places.
It is very unevenly enforced, because every time a police officer tries to enforce it the world loses its mind.

It basically happens every summer, and every summer there's a bunch of stories about how terrible it is. It's usually not tied up with race, though. And in this case it seems pretty clear that it was less about a girl selling water than it was about a black girl selling water.
Varies by locals I think.
Growing up my parents would take us to yard sales in nice areas and one time in the middle of buying lots of stuff, (right after Xmas so the well off family was getting rid of almost everything) the cops showed up because some petty neighbor complained.
My dad is all like " all this? They're giving it to me for free. I just came by to pay them for mowing my lawn the other day"
One of the cops chuckled but they still shut it down. We got our stuff though.
From the video of the little girl, she wasn't selling from her property, she was on the public sidewalk. Either way, the law does state that she has to have a permit.
Now, did someone have to go out of their way to call the police on this harmless little girl? Absolutely not.
Good on her for being an outstanding citizen. More people should care about things like having a goddamn permit so that a kid can sell bottled fucking water outside her home. That's what's really important, keeping our streets safe from amateur water vendors.
Some people are just real pieces of work.

Black Uber would be a pretty good sketch comedy bit. It'd be short though.
Should have been arrested for attempted murder. This should be a fucking felony calling Police on Black people.
I remember that woman who called the police on the black property developer who bought the house beside her.
There was something really disturbing about how she said "do what you gotta do" (or something similar) to the police.

That squat behind the wall. LMFAO
Don't be making a bigger fool of yourself if you already being filmed

Are we sure it's not the same woman?
Lol
Clown these miserable bigots for the world to see.
Pretty sure this fucking lady would just go "awww cute, I'll buy a cup of water little lady!" if the child was white.
What kind of a fucking wacko do you have to be to call the cops on a kid that's basically setting up a lemonade stand.
