Yet more police idiocy.

Lesbian Nan WPC will now undoubtedly claim she’s been unfairly bullied on SM and put in a claim for more hurty feelings and play the victim

I think WPC Lesley Nan was fuming at having to take the child home and gagging for some payback. She just needed an excuse, however pitiful.

Yes, I would agree. It felt very much a payback.

Makes the Police sound like vampires. Never give one permission to cross your threshold ✝️

I think WPC Lesley Nan was fuming at having to take the child home and gagging for some payback. She just needed an excuse, however pitiful. I'd say she was a disgrace to the uniform but, she is the uniform. That's what they're training and turning out.

I can’t decide if she should be suspended pending the investigation into her conduct or if she should be made to work the Saturday night shift in Leeds city centre.

Pretty sure every single tipsy bar hopper and nightclubber who claps eyes on her will loudly declare ‘It’s LESBIAN NANA!’

She’s famous now.

"Code red. Code red. Lesbian nana protocol. All units respond. Repeat we are at lesbian level nana."

😂🤣

I'm a bit unclear on this also.

I believe the officer was outside the house (by the front door) when the comment was made.

The fact she was outside was alleged grounds for public order, even though the girl was inside.

That said, I'm not clear in that case about BPO then entering the house without a warrant or not reading the child her rights prior to arrest.

Flip side if BPO was inside the house when the comment was made, that can't be a public order offence?

Given the level of response I really wonder what the hell the BPO said when asking for assistance.

😂😂We’ll send the Gay Gramps Gestapo for your children!

Thanks ntmdino

😂😂😂

She'll be off sick with stress for six months and when she comes back it'll be as gay gramps, call me Sir or you know what'll happen

Pretty sure, yes - certainly the arrest would be unlawful, because she had no consent or warrant to cross the threshold for the purposes of arrest. It would also be unlawful if found that there couldn't possibly have been a public order offence since both the officer and the girl were within "the dwelling" (which includes the garden).

That's why their mealy-mouthed "we have decided not to take further action" is such bullshit - I'm fairly sure that when they asked the CPS for advice (as mentioned in their original statement), they got an almighty smack around the head for not even understanding the basics of the very first section of the law they were trying to use. Even worse, that goes right to the top of WYP - it was their Assistant Chief Constable who made the statement which contained actual misunderstandings of the law!

Blimey. It's fairly rare for an incident here to pierce the US consciousness in such a way. It tends to be the other way around.

Remember, we don't know what she said when she called for backup. I'd say that, from the fact that none of them questioned it, it's reasonably likely they didn't exactly get an accurate picture.

I believe the Legal Feminist account expressed a desire to help but I suppose it hinges on the family wanting to go that route and the wishes of the teenage girl.

Lesbian nan is trending in the US with over 207,000 posts. 🙂

Probably where are those human rights lawyers when a disabled person needs one?

I'm pretty sure that their entry was illegal

Is it correct that if that's the case, then the arrest was unlawful and therefore assault, and the 20 hours at the police station was false imprisonment?

The mob mentality of the other officers is also disturbing. Not one, not even one, stopped to ask “What the ever-loving fuck are we doing here? She said you…looked like her lesbian Nan?” (I’m mighty fine, might I add. She could do worse.) Even if they didn’t know upon arrival, they should have assessed the situation and used some common sense.

The girl is reported to have been in the house when she made the comment, so I can't see how it was ever a public order matter, also not sure what right the police had to enter the house, I'm pretty sure that their entry was illegal.

The Police woman was just spoiling for a fight, clenching her fists. She had a gleeful expression on her face.

I'm just repeating what everyone else has said here, but she's completely unfit to be a copper. She's nasty, power crazed and vindictive, everything she said and did was entirely unnecessary, not to mention her total disregard for the young girl's disabilities.

That poor girl just needed to be left alone. What's going to happen in future, if she really needs the Police?

De-escalate? She deliberately escalated the situation. One of her colleagues should have called a halt to things.

If, as has been mooted here, there was no viable public order offence and she actually assaulted the mother, there should definitely be a misconduct hearing. I suppose it all depends on how good the witnesses are.

The clenched fists and rage-filled expressions PC Lesbian was making reminded me of the TRAs. She felt she was justified and completely in the right. She 100% knew her back-up squad and superiors would have her back. This is where the normalization of their violent and misogynistic behavior has got us.

Baldy, piss off. I am often on the side of law enforcement, I am from a family of officers. You…anger me so. I can’t even believe you are an officer. Frankly I don’t believe you ARE an officer. Nope.

I’d forgotten about that poisonous little parting shot

all the more shocking now they’ve backed down

vindictive fuckers

Life in Scotland is so much more interesting than life in Dorsetshire.

Oh shit! I did! I peaked! I'm sorry! I really should learn not to 'peak'.

Reminds me of the time there was a commotion at the back of the house and I'd gone out the back to take a look as I'm a nosy cow. I opened my back gate to have a 'peak' and there is lots of police officers with guns shouting 'get back inside. NOW'.

Peaking is dangerous!

Whoa, that’s a bridge too far! I’m not sure if that effects me or affects me so I’ll just say it impacts me!!!
