5 things white people can do before they call the cops on a black person

Thanks to Alison Ettel, aka #PermitPatty, we can add selling bottled water without a permit to the list of things black people can't do in America without having the cops called on them. 

Ettel became the subject of viral outrage Saturday when she appeared to call the police to report an 8-year-old black girl "illegally" selling water on a San Francisco street. The girl's mom posted video of that apparent phone call to Instagram, and Ettel later told HuffPost she "pretended" to report the incident to the police.
