Yesterday, my kids were involved with some other kids around the neighborhood having a garage sale type thing. They were selling crafts that they had made. Cookies and cupcakes too. They had baked another miscellaneous things. This was all part of a little homeschool thing we have going.
One of the other kids' moms was the one who put it together. She posted it on a Facebook group of sorts saying exactly what was going on and the location. Apparently some Karen called the local authorities and reported it for selling food without a license.
When an officer showed up at the house, the kids thought he was there just to buy something. The officer was able to find the mother and explain to her exactly what had happened. He inquired if they did have the said license. She said they did not . He said that the person who reported wanted it shut down because the kids didn't have a license. But he said "I have filed the report and everything is okay. Oh and here's $50 for the kids."
I am sure this happens a hundred times more every single day than we will ever know. Yes, some cops are jerks just like every other profession and those stories do get more attention. I guess I'm just trying to bring attention where it's actually deserved.
