The California cannabis tincture company TreatWell Health has been pulled into a national controversy by its founder, Alison Ettel, who was captured on video reportedly calling the authorities on an 8-year-old girl for selling bottled water on a San Francisco sidewalk without a permit. Ettel, 44, is white. The bottled water entrepreneur is African-American.

At least three Bay Area retailers have announced that they will no longer carry TreatWell's products because of the #PermitPatty incident.

The video went viral on Instagram and Twitter on Saturday morning as another example of a white person calling the police on a black person for enjoying an innocuous everyday activity.

By Saturday night a chorus of critics were calling for a boycott of TreatWell. At least three Bay Area retailers, Magnolia Oakland, SPARC, and Barbary Coast have announced that they will no longer carry the company’s products because of the #PermitPatty incident.

She learned today! That's what she gets for messing with that baby girl.

Here’s the video...

I must say...the boycott and dragging of PermitPatty warms the cold crevices of my heart.

Funny thing is people like this will call the police on anybody! They could care less about your race, age, sex, or religion - when I worked at the sheriffs office we called them "frequent flyers."

Some people literally have nothing else to do with their lives.

I am seriously beginning to think white people are calling the cops on hopes a confrontation will ensue and the cops will shoot. I can't think of any reason to just keep calling the police on black people for no reason.

My dude said, "Go deactivate your life. Thanks in advance."

Wait... so nobody showed her the meme's of what happened to BBQ Becky before she tried this mess?

If nothing else, I'm seeing a lot more people realizing (extra extra late but whatever) that ww are actors and also leaders of white supremacy and racist clownery.

Apparently she was on the news crying this morning

She didn't have a permit to sell many of her marajuana based products. Typical Becky.

Yeah, they are giving her and Roseanne Barr "the redemption tour" treatment, already. I swear they have the greatest PR machine known to mankind.

Lol WW tears strike again. How you start mess and then cry, her and her twin BBQ Becky need to go on somewhere.

Do you have the full clip of that video?

I love that Black Twitter will track you down and make you famous. I watched this as it unfolded and her business contacts bail one by one. The hubris of what she does for a living and then going after this kid. Girl.

This story is getting richer by the minute. That trick has some nerve.

I hope the state of Cali comes for the $$$ she owes them for operating without proper permits. That would be the sweetest end to this story

No I just saw the pic on my parenting board. If I come across it I'll post.

Y'all better leave her alone before she starts crying again.

She just lost her segment in a film about female entrepreneurs.

A white woman who was caught on camera calling police about an 8-year-old black girl who was selling bottles of water is a cast member of an in-production documentary that’s following women who founded businesses related to marijuana. Update below: She was dropped from the film, which is called Lady Buds: Women Elevating the Cannabis Industry.

Alison Ettel has been nicknamed “Permit Patty” and has been trending on Twitter after the girl’s cousin posted a video of Ettel hiding behind a sidewalk planter while on her cell phone.

The woman filming the video says Ettel is calling police on an 8-year-old, and tells Ettel, “You can hide all you want. The whole world gonna see you, boo.” In the video, Ettel stands up and replies, “Illegally selling water without a permit.”

The girl was selling water in front of her home, which is near AT&T Park in San Francisco, where the Giants played a game this afternoon. Her cousin also posted this video of her:

One reason this incident has gotten attention is that it is the latest in a series of stories about white people calling police on black people who are just living their lives—such as the Yale student who called police on a fellow graduate student who was napping. These kinds of racist calls to police are quite common.

Ettel was interviewed by HuffPost, and said the girl was “screaming about what they were selling,” and said, “I had been putting up with this for hours, and I just snapped.”

She added:

“It was stupid. I completely regret that I handled that so poorly. It was completely stress-related, and I should have never confronted her. That was a mistake, a complete mistake. Please don’t make me sound horrible.”

Allegedly, the little girl received 4 tickets to Disney World/Land.

PermitPatty learned today!!! How many more lessons is it going to take for ww to understand?

Now for the bright side, anyone living in Cali want to snatch up some business? If not in Cali, interested in the product? If so, start preparations soon.

You know you're a miserable ***** if you call the police on an 8 YEAR OLD for selling water. What the hell. What next, calling the police on girl scouts for selling cookies?

I have a feeling that there is an alt-right presence sending the memo far and wide for it's white members to make these phone calls. If the black response to racism is protest they are going to give us 978750164894 different lines to protest in order an attempt to split the effectiveness of protest and tire out the base. It doesn't matter that these people lose income in the short term, over time their whiteness gives them something to fall back on.

I see this has already made it's way here.

Yep, I've already seen the next story in the pipeline. They called the cops on a black firefighter doing inspections WITH HIS FIRE TRUCK on the street. I started to post it but opted for not giving us too much negativity today. If anyone wants me to make a thread let me know. White folks are well aware that there are #2americas and take full advantage of it.

Yes, it occurred to me that this is probably an organized operation. It's too much and too coordinated and they are planning more rallies. You ladies be careful wherever you live. It just feels like the beginning of something not good to me.

Her tears irritate my soul. I just can’t help but imagine similar displays causing the deaths of Black people in the not too distant past.
