Police called to shut down kids’ lemonade stand buy drinks instead

An unidentified person saw the group selling lemonade and, instead of stopping for a cup, called the police.

"911 what's the emergency"

"We got kids selling lemonade"

"It's hot outside, we'll need backup"

[RaleighLink]

Who calls the cops on kids selling lemonade. Seriously.

[wuiblidluub]

Calling the cops on children who are selling lemonade?what a sad excuse for a human being

[therealbahamut]

"Dispatch to all units, we have reports of kids selling Lemonade on Fifth ave. All available units proceed to the location. Bring a dollar."

[lovingmayberry]

Bet Karen was really pissed that she didn't get the children arrested.

[realMrHudson]

"This is 911 what's your emergency?"

"Some kids are selling lemonade 😡"

"Sounds delicious we'll send some units down to try it"

The one who disliked this is the Karen who called the police

[marswrld]

Karen: THESE KIDS ARE SELLING LEMONADE!! ARREST THEM
Cops: proceeds to buy some lemonade
Karen: WHAT THE

[ZACHCOX]

"The kids have made several hundred dollars in several days..."
-IRS has entered the chat

Plot Twist: Karen also sell lemonade and they are rivals in business

What do you tell the operator when you report such a crime.
"There are kids selling lemonade, send help"🤷‍♂️

Awesome Mom’s for teaching their kids valuable lessons about handling money, how to run a business, how to deal with nasty people and how to be good citizens and learn the value of a job! Cudos to the cops for being great guys, teaching kids that not ALL cops are to be afraid of, (especially in today’s environment), and for just standing up for a group of kids who aren’t doing a damn thing wrong!!! What a great lesson and very special people all around!!! So beautiful…thanks for sharing!!

Don’t be fooled. Karen is still out there with her finger on the call button, lurking... waiting...

People are so miserable. Kids used to be able to have a lemonade stand without having the cops called on them. Good on those officers for not taking the bait.

[davidroseman]

The person who called the police should be arrested for wasting resources.

[danielyeroshalmi]

jokes on her she made the stand even more public and gained them more business.

[legowyn]

Whoever calls to shut down a kids lemonade stand is such a Karen

[ericandre]

Imagine trying to shut down a lemonade stand but end up completely boosting their business

[NGMonocrom]

What type of utterly soulless joke of a human-being calls the cops on a small child's lemonade stand?

[peterleadley]

From the ridiculous ('there's kids selling lemonade!') to the sublime ('we'll have a cup each please..)! Some cops not only serve and protect, they also restore a little bit of faith in their profession.
