A white woman called the cops on an 8-year-old selling water. The internet is dragging her.

White woman are continuing their reign as most narc-filled demographic, and it&#39;s a real bad look. The most recent iteration of this trend is laid out in the viral video of a grown white woman calling the cops on an 8-year-old selling bottled water.

Naturally, when Jordan&#39;s mother, Erin Austin, caught wind of what was going down, she got out her phone camera to record the wildly uneccessary badgering of a child.As you can see in the video, Ettel can be spotted calling the cops (while she ducks like a coward) about a child selling water &quot;without a permit.&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/BkXWMlWguex/?taken-by=ladyesowavy&quot;Make this bitch go viral like #bbqbecky she&rsquo;s #permitpatty would you rather my daughter be out here getting into shit Fr cuz an 8 year old selling water in front of her apartment building where she&rsquo;s lived her whole life is NOT a reason to call the Police,&quot; Austin wrote.Austin&#39;s cousin Raj also posted the video to Twitter, where Ettel was quickly admonished and dubbed #permitpatty.So my little cousin was selling water and didn&#39;t have a permit so this lady decided to call the cops on an 8 year old. #PermitPatty pic.twitter.com/SiL61pnAgl&mdash; November 12th 🦂 (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018 We gotta new meme tho y&#39;all #PermitPatty pic.twitter.com/DW3TFjRzn4&mdash; November 12th 🦂 (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018 And it people who support her 😂 unbelievable who has ever gotta sick from drinking a water bottle? pic.twitter.com/kbHCSSZUAs&mdash; November 12th 🦂 (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018 I can&#39;t reply to everybody bc it&#39;s been so many responses but my family thanks you all for the funny comments memes &amp; words of encouragement my little cousin is doing okay for those who are asking and her mom is going to be pressing charges for harassment&mdash; November 12th 🦂 (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018 She also posted a video of Jordan selling the water, which really drove home how ridiculous it is to call the cops on a baby.And this is my little cousin just so you guys can see pic.twitter.com/yQEEB8uZ2A&mdash; November 12th 🦂 (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018 Unsurprisingly, there were people who claimed the incident wasn&#39;t about racial profiling, but really just an issue of legality.
