A white former Dallas police officer who said she fatally shot her unarmed, black neighbor after mistaking his apartment for her own was found guilty of murder on Tuesday. A jury reached the verdict in Amber Guyger's high-profile trial for the killing of Botham Jean after six days of witness testimony but just a handful of hours of deliberation. Cheers erupted in the courthouse as the verdict was announced, and someone yelled "Thank you, Jesus!" In Texas, the sentence for murder is from five to 99 years in prison. The jury is expected to return Tuesday afternoon for the punishment phase of the trial. #AmberGuyger #TexasPolice #Police #Cops #BadApples #kalepwa #Dallas #DallasPolice #DallasPD #BadCop #BothamJean #PoliceShooting #DallasShooting #haitian (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FW99Sh25_/?igshid=1ef7c7zcm7sn8

Texas police spoil summer lemonade stand fun

[PHOTO 1]

Two ambitious little girls were determined to raise enough money, $105 to be exact, to take their dad to a nearby water park for Father’s Day.

Eight-year-old Andria Green and her seven-year-old sister, Zoe, set up a lemonade stand near their home in Texas.

“The girls are always into making their own money,” their mother, Sandi Evans, told local television station KLTV.

Both a beverage and a snack were up for grabs; ice cold lemonade was going for 50 cents and kettle corn for a dollar, but if you purchased both together it was a just dollar.

The girls were off to a great start, but then two police officers parked on a nearby street showed up and shut their stand down due to state health and safety laws.

Evans told KLTV the police inquired if she had a permit for her daughters to sell lemonade. Evans didn’t know that certification — known as a “Peddler’s Permit” — was required to sell lemonade.

As shocking as all of this sounds, the city of Overton agreed to waive the $150 fee for a 'Peddler's Permit," but the health department would prove a bigger problem if the girls continued.

Police Chief Clyde Carter explains, “It is a lemonade stand but they also have a permit that they are required to get.”

Texas House Bill 970, or the Texas Baker's Bill, prohibits the sale of food which requires time or temperature control to prevent spoilage. Since lemonade technically must be refrigerated to prevent the growth of bacteria, by law, the girls cannot sell it without an inspection and permit.

However, despite this bump in their entrepreneurial endeavours, the two little girls will continue raising money to buy their dad the perfect gift.

They will have another lemonade stand this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., only this time they are going to be giving the lemonade away, and are simply asking for donations.
