She is right. The cops here in the UK are bullies and they treat the public like crap. Bullied in school became a cop to get power, uses power to bully others. The way they treat people is awful. I work in accommodation for the homless and the diffrece in the way the police talk to me and them, is night and day.
Thing is, no one want to be friends with a cop or be in a relationship with them… could you imagen breaking up with a cop? Fuxk that! i’d sooner cut a finger off.
I think this applies everywhere. The power attracts a particular personality type that is less than trustworthy.
Police can’t handle entry level banter here, every officer I’ve dealt with has been a power tripping cunt including the PCSO’s who don’t even have arresting powers.
Yeah it’s the worst people that sign up for that job (obviously not all of them). Especially the parts where they wield power the density of assholes increases.
Nah, it’s all of em.
You’re telling me…
all cops are bastards?
No. Not all of them.
Some of them lack the brains
Bastard is as bastard does.
Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(
Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn’t autistic, there’d be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She’s a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.
Educate her, sure
“now honey, what you said was deeply offensive to your grandmother. she doesn’t look like a
!”The bottom line is, the victim having autism and being young is irrelevant in the sense that no-one should be treated like that for such a trivial insult.
It’s obviously still relevant, the victim is particularly vulnerable, making the abuse so much more obviously callous and disgusting. But I say if this happened to Joe Citizen, it would also be horrific.
If this girl is so far gone she can’t stop herself from accidently being homophobic, why were the parents letting her out to drink on the street at midnight?
I’m sorry what?
You clearly read the article to know she was intoxicated, so you must have also seen the kids words quoted as "you look like my Nana, she’s a lesbian.
That’s oversharing, people do that on a normal day, let alone that she was an intoxicated neurodiverse child having a panic attack. Without context it’s not an insult, with context its a child being manhandled while in distress.
It seems like you have a problem with her as a person for either being a drunk teenager, neurodivergent or possibly something else? Kids fuck about, the consequences in this instance should be a hangover and a stern talking to, not assault and arrest.
Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic… You’re homophobic for thinking it is.
When you’re a cop, you get to hurt anyone who upsets you in any way. The law is secondary, if it shows up at all. You’re a tool for indiscriminate violence.
Sounds to me like it’s the police who are homophobic, taking “lesbian” as an insult.
