In general, I agree when that one gets called, however this case just feels mostly feel-good (once you get past the obvious racism). The kid wasn’t out there trying to make money for a wheelchair or his parents rent or so he could eat. He was saving for a PS5, a luxury good, and taking the initiative to try to make his own money for it. Karen, being racist, called the cops. And the cops decided (correctly) that Karen was full of shit, and decided to help the kid buy something he wants. Not needs to survive, just wants.
