Police can't handle entry level banter here, every officer I've dealt with has been a power tripping removed including the PCSO's who don't even have arresting powers.
I've found that white brits can't handle their own banter being directed back at them. They'll say the most outlandish things about the French being cowards who reek of garlic but God forbid someone call British food bland.
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.
That is a pretty sick brurn though. Good on ya, autistic lady whether you meant it as an insult or not. Sorry about the pigs throwing a temper tantrum
You shouldn't call cops "pigs." Pigs are intelligent and loving creatures
Fair, my apologies to the swine. You don't deserve to be associated with cops
All that proves is that that one in particular was bad. Maybe it was out of date.
Yeah fr i was thinking 'yeah that's EXACTLY what an autistic person needs after getting manhandled and detained- a SCOLDING LECTURE over WORD CHOICE! Woohoo!'
Respectfully to the commenter, we get enough of that shit from regular people already. For some, on a daily basis. Sometimes it's just bc they feel like guilting someone. So at least for me, that kind of 'lesson' wouldn't go down without some bile (which I'd prob force back up into someone's face in that situation). The cop looked exactly like her gran and she was right to say it.
Yeah I absolutely agree with you. I didn't mean to suggest that lecturing the neurodiverse person would have solved the situation in this case.
I meant that even if the girl was neurotypical and/or intended it as a homophobic insult... it doesn't really matter - if the cop had to do anything, then just talking to the girl would have been a more proportionate response than what happened.
I meant that if the girl was neurotypical and meant to insult the cop, then the cop talking to her would still be a more proportionate response than assault and arrest.
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?
You think people with a limited verbal filter who speak their mind shouldn't be allowed to go out at night or drink alcohol?
I think ableists shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
"If the mother thinks she is unable to handle being abused by the only people in the country allowed to employ violence due to her being a minor and autistic, why is she letting her go outside and socialize with her friends?"
Yea this autistic girls guardians seem to be abusive or at very least neglectful, and so? Was your point that the mom sounds like she sucks?
What about “you look like my gay grandma” is homophobic?!
Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic... You're homophobic for thinking it is.
"You snowflakes need to grow a thicker skin!"
"Hold on, you're insulting ME! THAT'S ILLEGAL BUDDY!"
So they expect us to be tougher than them?
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.
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.
Generally, there are two types of CHUDs:
-
People who were popular in high school and bullied people, and being a CHUD is how they can relive their glory days as the cool kids forever
-
People who were bullied by group one, and decided to get their revenge on the world by becoming bullies themselves.
So well put here. This is a very good explanation. If you don't mind me asking, is a CHUD an abbreviation of something or is it just a word assigned/given, like Karen or Jock
CHUD is an acronym for cannibalistic humanoid undergroud dwellers. It's a reference to movie, but for whatever reason CHUD became the slang term for reactionaries. You'll every now and then see "hog" used the same way.
It's sort of the equivalent of how "gammon" is used in the UK.
It also serves as a good alternative for "white trash" without the classist baggage it comes with.
Although I'm getting the feeling gammons are going to start calling themselves gammons as a term of endearment.

He must look like an aging lesbian. They've blurred his face in every picture.
And the filth wonder why nobody trusts them and everyone hates them.
Girl: "Hey you look kind of like my grandma :)"
... How is this in any shape or form offensive? Let alone homophobic? Fucking cops, man.
Especially in Leeds. That policewoman is probably about the same age as her grandma.
I can't believe this girl said her lesbian grandmother looked like a pig
Yeah when I'm older I would be rather upset if my kid compared me to a cop. Bullying someone for being old or whatever is really fucking gross. Lesbian grandmas deserve just as much respect, if not more, than most people. If anything, it was a compliment.
if the word hate were written on every nano-angstrom of every atom in my body, it would not equal one tenth of my hatred for cops
