The video was posted on social media by Jordan's aunt on Saturday with the hashtag: \"#PermitPatty\" -- a clear nod to a similar situation back in April where a white woman in Oakland, California called the police on a black family barbecuing legally in a public park. That woman was dubbed #BbqBecky.
In the few seconds of footage, Austin speaks into the phone as she walks up to Ettel, who can be seen holding her cell phone and squatting behind a cement wall.
\"She's calling the police on a little 8-year-old girl selling water,\" Austin is heard saying as nears Ettel. \"You can hide all you want -- the whole world is gonna see you, boo.\"
Ettel stands up and talks into the phone saying, \"Yeah, illegally selling water without a permit.\"
Austin counters, \"On my property.\"
Ettel responds, \"It's not your property.\"
On \"GMA\" Monday, Jordan said that she hoped to sell enough water bottles to fund a trip to Disneyland.
The girl said that she and her mom had been pulling bottles from a cooler nearby for about 15 minutes when Ettel approached, \"saying she was trying to work and we were being too loud.\"
\"I did not want to see the police because I was scared,\" Jordan told \"GMA.\"
She said the incident changed the way she views her neighbor.
Jordan said that she is convinced that Ettel, who is white, was motivated by greed and racism \"because I think she doesn’t care about people's skin colors, because she doesn't care about people's lives except for hers.\"
The fallout since the video surfaced and spread like wildfire online has also found critics chiming in on TreatWell's Yelp! page.
\"Don't go here and buy from a racist owner! Get out of our city and put your business elsewhere. WE DONT TOLERATE RACIST!!!! #permitpatty,\" Yelp user Kristine C. wrote.
\"Don't go here and buy from a racist owner! Get out of our city and put your business elsewhere . WE DONT TOLERATE RACIST!!!! #permitpatty\"
\"She calls the cops on a little girl selling water but she's a drug dealer,\" wrote Yelp user Ikey P. who hails from Oakland. \"Worse, she deals to dogs!!!\"
