Excessive Force? Dozens of Cops Dispatched to Shutdown ‘Illegal’ Lemonade Stand

Excessive Force? Dozens of Cops Dispatched to Shutdown ‘Illegal’ Lemonade Stand | The Free Thought Project:
But seriously folks, at what point did America cross the threshold into the world of ridiculousness?
Deploying dozens of police officers to shut down a lemonade stand is laughable.
But it is also Orwellian.
Obviously these people were conducting their lemonade stand as an act of civil disobedience, but that does not justify the police action.
Has the state gotten so large that it must control all forms of human exchange no matter how small?
What’s next, will we have to file for a permit to have children?
Or request a permit to even seek out a spouse?"
