Weaponizing 911 calls is nothing new, but one anonymous “Karen” from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, chose to target a hapless kid’s lemonade stand for some reason. Thankfully, the police officers who responded were much more reasonable and empathetic; instead of obliging the Karen caller, the cops actually spent time with the young lemonade entrepreneur. Here’s the favorable outcome to the anonymous Karen’s crashout, posted on the Police Department’s Facebook page:
The incident happened around July 28, specifically in the town of Upper Allen Township. The Upper Allen Township Police Department received a call from an anonymous female complainant who was offended by a child’s lemonade stand. Instead of shooing the kid away and her lemonade stand, the cops bought her drinks instead and befriended her, much to the anonymous Karen’s chagrin, assuming she’s watching begrudgingly from her dimly lit bedroom.
“Thank you to ‘Mrs. Anonymous’ for calling to complain about a kids’ lemonade stand. We responded and enjoyed a refreshing cup while making some new friends! 👮♂️🍋,” according to the Upper Allen Township Police Department
The post and incident have since gone viral, with many people praising the cop for his heartwarming and positive response, especially towards a rather cantankerous complaint. It’s not exactly clear why the anonymous Pennsylvania Karen called or what she saw as wrong about the lemonade stand, but it appears the police didn’t find anything harmful about it. People have thus concluded that the 911 caller was just being miserable…
