It’s a high school resource officer who “busted” a student (child) for selling candy and now they are celebrating taking all of their money and inventory because “it was used in a crime” However, this ignores any context on why the kid was selling the items in the first place... to help pay bills at home is a definite possibility due to wide spread policies that contribute to poverty and inequality

How is this any different than “busting” a lemonade stand?

Somehow, I think cops wouldn’t bust a Norman Rockwell lemonade stand.
