There was actually a little more to that story. Mom was loudly hawking said lemonaid and woman working at home complained to her and they got into a verbal altercation. Then she called police. I agree the decision to call police was unnecessary but it wasn't just like a little girl selling lemonade led to the police call.

I think in many cases a verbal confrontation/altercation is a contributing factor. The viral stories elide this part.

But nonetheless, you don't call police because you get into a heated argument with someone. That these people did likely points to underlying racism.

Right. So like PP said. Sell lemonade outside your apartment building, without someone saying you can’t do that, then verbally defend your dd’s lemonade stand. Or as most people would say, sell lemonade outside your apartment building.

And your whole theory about confrontation/altercation being a factor. Who started the fight? Then who called the cops?

Not surprising, considering the fact that every NPR segment is about a "victim."

So the problem isn’t racism, it’s NPR?

Yep. NPR makes up these stories just so they can have a narrative.....says the person who has never read or really listened to NPR but likes to continue his/her own narrative about liberal media bias (because in their weird world, only liberals care about racism, I guess).

I think the point is that the woman didn't care a little girl was selling lemonade, she cared a woman was yelling outside her apartment when she was trying to work. Then she cared that she and the woman got in a verbal altercation about the noise. Don't call police, people, but let's be honest about how, while racism may have played a role, this wasn't a simple case of little black girl selling lemonade and getting the cops called on her.

Pick up trash outside your residence without having guns drawn by police.

Spoiler alert: this police officer quit the force.
