White Woman Allegedly Calls Cops After Seeing 8-Year-Old Girl Selling Water

I guess minding her own business was out of the question for this white woman.

By Sebastian Murdock

An apparent competition over who can call the police on people of color for no good reason is really ramping up.

In a video posted to Instagram on Saturday, an unidentified white woman in San Francisco was captured apparently calling the police on a nonwhite girl who’s 8 years old. The child’s supposed crime? Selling water “illegally.”

“This woman don’t want a little girl to sell some water, she’s calling the police on an 8-year-old girl,” the child’s mother, who took the video, says.

The white woman seen on the phone then ducks down out of sight after seeing she is being recorded. It was not immediately known if she was calling police, and the San Francisco Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.

*hides*


*Apparently she's been discovered on social media, and she's fully functioning member of society who CEO/founder of a successful company that sells weed to dogs. That's more disturbing than the clearly mentally ill "BBQ Becky" from a few weeks ago. At least that's assuming the internet is right about her identity. That would suck if they are going after some innocent lady, but it seems pretty likely to be her.

2. Not really surprising. A lot of white people use weed issue as excuse not to support Democrats

And how they will only if they support legalization .

And this is even if the other candidate is a right winger with far worse position on the issue.

So all the other issues didn't matter to them.

Although usually it tends to be white males.

4. She knows how dirty she is, and tried to hide from the child's mother.

Glad she didn't let her get away with it.

What a loathsome spiteful scum.

Her nasty personality is impossible to hide on that ugly face.

I seriously doubt this woman is from SF. It's Pride Week, for cryin' out loud. Everyone sells cold bottles of water out of Igloo coolers to the tourists and the locals. most of us make a point of buying water from kids. This woman would know that if she'd been in the city for even one year.

I was picturing water from the tap, not bottled water. Its not something kids do in my neck of the woods. Lemonade maybe, but not water.

12. Pot selling Alison Ettel blames her actions on being overly stressed

"Ettel said she suffered for hours with the screaming and “snapped.” She said it stressed her out and now, she claims, she’s getting threats and feels “discriminated against.”

“It was stupid,” she told HuffPo. “I completely regret that I handled that so poorly. It was completely stress-related, and I should have never confronted her. That was a mistake, a complete mistake. Please don’t make me sound horrible.”

Ironically, Ettel just held a “fireside chat” on June 11 to help people “calm anxiety and stress with cannabis.” "
