5 Year Old Fined for Setting Up Lemonade Stand

My first inclination was to post the same thing you both posted. However, the latest police shooting victim in Minneapolis was white. In fact, the victim is the one who called the police.

 

TRUE - but that does not cancel out the American inclination to shot and kill Blacks!!!!

Off topic from the OP but the Minneapolis shooting continues to mystify me.

 

The euphemism to end all euphemisms:

 

After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley.

 

- Search warrant filed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension

Except that this isn't related to any new legislation, and the local authority cancelled the fine and apologised to the family involved. No matter how good or bad regulation is you can end up with over-zealous enforcement officers.

 

Only cause the family made a stink. And who do you think the officers work for?

Maybe only because the family made a stink. I've dealt with various local authorities in the UK over other charges and fines and have generally found them to be extremely reasonable, so it's quite possible that they would have responded similarly without the publicity.

 

The officers obviously work for the local authority, which in turn works for the people living in the area. Was that your point?
