This shows the arrest of a teenage autistic girl by about 5 police officers. From what I can make out it is for a 'hate' crime. She apparently said a police officer was a Lesbian. Her Nan is a lesbian - that police officer is like my Nan.

I cannot comprehend the mindset of these officers.

That's a we are in the complete shit over this but unsure of exactly how much is going to get thrown at us by the profesional standards investigation so we are going to stop the criminal investigation and say no more than that till we know exactly how big an apology we have to make and exactly how many heads are going to roll.

Or it could just be its an irrelevant female so fuck an apology she doesn't deserve one

PronounssheRa · 11/08/2023 19:41

It'd rare I say this, but you bunch of fucking twats. No further action https://twitter.com/WestYorksPolice/status/1690042791395569681

To the family, sue them

Maybe … but then would the issue be transphobia and not homophobia? She was accused of homophobia.

I think they've updated it.
My lesbian Nanna has just sent me this link.

That wording is in fact a total climbdown but does not actually say sorry for the inappropriate behaviour by the police.

Lesbian Nan identifies as a man or nb or I'll eat my hat.

Screenshot the version uploaded to here of the earlier statement Arabella.

Complaint my arse. Sue the fuckers.

I'd contribute to a crowdfunder to sue the fuckers.

I would too.

I feel overly invested in this and would love to think this case could make a real difference and finally be a catalyst for change within WYP.

yourhairiswinterfire · 11/08/2023 18:33

No public apology for traumatizing a child in meltdown, pulling her by the arm when she has scoliosis, and putting out a humiliating statement painting her as a nasty homophobe?

BreadInCaptivity · 11/08/2023 18:31

Soubriquet · 11/08/2023 18:13

Says nothing about educating their staff either. They are gonna get away with it and hope with time people will forget

Exactly this.

AngryGreasedSantaCatcus · 11/08/2023 18:29

At least hopefully this will stop the "there must be more to this nonsense". There isn't. There wasn't. Just a cop on a power trip weaponising her job/position against an autistic teenager. So fucking brave.

SamW98 · 11/08/2023 18:22

It’s a real ‘nothing to see here move along’ statement

And had it but been filmed and posted online we all know absolutely nothing would have been done and it would be brushed under the carpet

LarkLane · 11/08/2023 18:13

It's a real none apology.
Utter gobshites. The person doing their social media isn't the sharpest tool in the box reading that. Own Goal 2.

SamW98 · 11/08/2023 18:08

No actual apology though.

Though I’m sure ‘lessons will be learnt’

LarkLane · 11/08/2023 18:06

I hope my link works. Looks like they've deleted all the bit about the girl being drunk.
No further action.

No shit Sherlock!

BreadInCaptivity · 11/08/2023 18:01

The statement is still there but they've cut off access to all the posts.

Cowards.

Pack in.

There is NOTHING in that video to indicate anything other than an overwhelmed child.

If it takes 5 officers to handle that they are not fit for purpose and should be sacked.

Show quote history

I suspect the extra officers were called due to there being 2 other adults in the house (Mum and a male), and tensions were, understandably, running high. If Mum and male had kicked off then it would've been dangerous.

However, if the reports that all the teen did was say something a bit insensitive to the female PO are correct, then it was a total overreaction from the police and only served to escalate the situation. The teen should've been delivered safely to Mum, and any comments ignored. Just silly how thin skinned the female PO was if all she was asked is if she was a lesbian. It's not even homophobic is it, not even hateful. Just an observation.

ArabeIIaScott · 11/08/2023 17:24

Well, I read a few of the 10k responses and none of them were in support of the police!
