Subject: Re: so much for free enterprise in the USA........
Vikings: I agree that cops were just doing their jobs and I also agree that the people selling the lemonade were only interested in making a point. However, when I was little, we used to have lemonade stands all the time. Some kids still do this in their neighborhoods. But in the news there are dozens of situations where the authorities shut down little kid’s lemonade stands because the children were operating without a food permit etc. Sometimes government takes itself too seriously.

As for that lady cop, she was cute. But she was out of line. There was no need for her to put her hand in front of the camera. It goes with the job of protecting the rights of others. Which she was only there to enforce the law (the lemonaid stand clearly violated the law) she was out of line in her attempts to get the camera person to stop filming her. She should have been as concerned about the rights of the person behind the camera as she was concerned about the violation of selling goods on the Capitol grounds. The protesters got to her and she lost her cool.
