Government 101; The City Council passes laws then LE enforces the laws.

In the letter, Allen wrote he believes the officers' actions would've been different if it were different children who were operating a lemonade stand in the same location.
"While still the same violation of selling a beverage without proper permits and licenses," Allen wrote. "I doubt we would have seen little girls in pigtails handcuffed on the ground."
