Someone called the cops on a lemonade stand in Kansas City -- here's what happened when law enforcement showed up [View all]
Most kids running a lemonade stand worry about hailing down customers, whether they have enough ice and if the lemonade tastes sweet enough. But Parez and Jakkhi Reese encountered a different problem after someone called 911 on them.
The two brothers had set up their neighborhood lemonade stand in Kansas City, Kansas — something they’d reportedly been doing for years. But, this week, a concerned caller contacted emergency services to report the boys’ business. What happened next turned a potential buzzkill into one of the feel-good stories of the summer.
When police officers and firefighters arrived on the scene, they didn’t shut the stand down. According to local reports, officers and members of the fire department quickly became some of the boys’ biggest customers.
Officer Morgan Reed was among the first to arrive and immediately started calling fellow officers, encouraging them to stop by and support the young business owners.

Some busy body called the cops. Maybe because the kids were black.
