Yet more police idiocy.

The WPC lesbian nana seemed to be relishing the incident and her power in it-saying things like "oh she's getting arrested tonight" "I've called for back up-she is getting arrested" so triumphantly.
Scary abuse of power and when the mum said she's autistic the WPC replied very defiantly "I don't care".
It seemed very, very personal to me.
I find this incredibly disturbing to watch and wonder how this would have played out if no one was recording it.

WTAF!

@littleripper that's appalling.

They said "well isn't that charming language for a young lady" or something and proceeded to delivery me home to my rather bewildered housemates.
Very nostalgic and appropriate. What Inspector Morse would have said. If only it were still like that. By the way I don't think it is fair for all police to be called out for the behaviour of these 6 disgraces to their profession.

@littleripper I hear you and you are right. Decades and decades of rotten leadership make an institutionally rotten workforce.
I'm so sorry that you had such appalling treatment.

Little ripper that is appalling. Please tell me you got a grovelling apology and compensation (ok, I know but you should have).

OMG

This tells me the rot in WYP is all the way to the top. It's root and branch.

Wow, just wow.

So our comments can be policed and our anonymity counts for nothing on here even when discussing mere facts. Thanks for the heads up.

Perhaps you'd like to contact the BBC in follow up to this story related to abuse of power and this type of debate? If you felt you wanted to go public and it wouldn't damage your business?

I hope you have complained, they were trying to get you sacked and cancelled for saying facts. Mn are in a difficult position but I hope the info wasn't just handed over but followed due process. Some staff / moderators certainly don't seem to understand the gc position or nuance when you see deletions / get deleted especially for more factual comments.

The WYP are acting like a private militia, there seems to be no comeback for them.

MN handed over your details - fucking hell!

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, and the abuse of power of that police force.

It is quite absurd and no surprise that more and more people are now distrustful of our police forces. The joke now is how do you get the police to attend if you have been burgled? Shout Lesbian and you'll get 6 of them on your door. Otherwise forget it as they don't want to know.

WTAF?

😲

When I spoke on Feminist chat about a WYP officer raping a child - a matter of public record - they contacted MN who handed over all my details, and then turned up at my place of work to harass me. It didn't work out the way they wanted as I own the business and understand my rights.

😮😮😮👁️😱

WYP truly hate women. Sutcliffe, Savile both left to get on with their favourite hobbies of abusing, raping and killing women and girls, some of the worst grooming scandals in the UK, the brothels and legal prostitution zones where the police visited as punters and set up businesses. They hate women so much they even travelled to Norfolk, on the instructions of a male from South Yorks, to harass a man who dared to say men cannot become women - 2 nights in a hotel on full expenses. What a lovely day out.

Fuck the West Yorkshire Police. Fuck them to hell for their crimes against women and girls.

Makes you wonder what exactly they would do if they weren’t being filmed.

I get the feeling that if this was America, guns would be have been drawn.

Once you say how it is, you have to stick to that. If people think there is a negotiation, they're harder to deal with.

One BPS made her weaksauce stupid decision to arrest the drunk child, who was cowering in her own home terrified and apologetic, everything was already going to happen like it happened.

I think there’s a mentality among people that is heightened in police where they know they’re in trouble, visuals-wise but cannot bring themselves to back down or admit they’re wrong for appearing weak. Quite a few of Billboard Chris’s videos capture this well. There was the Dublin police officer who was increasingly looking more and more like an utter arse but just couldn’t stop. At its worst, you see murder: the cases in America of people who know they’re going to be caught on film killing someone but still carry on…it’s ego, pure and simple. Can’t admit they’re wrong, never back down, see it through to the end.

Funnily enough when I watched it I thought they treated her far far worse than a " knife-welding maniac" because when my drunk, paranoid schizophrenic, build like a brick shithouse, family member pulled a knife & threatened to use it on himself & others....they attended, diffused the situation, returned him to his supported accommodation did not arrest him (& comforted/supported the other family member who was the focus of his rage/delusion).

Also there were 4 of them

Different force obviously but still....

Low hanging fruit.

The other worrying thing is, the officers knew they were being filmed and still behaved like that.

I can't t understand for the life of me why on earth this situation was permitted to escalate to this. The police look totally unprofessional, stupid and incompetent here. Reacting to a mild phrase like this is totally ridiculous and high-handed.

I used to do a job which sometimes involved stewarding after big events. I've been called all sorts of names and slurs by people drunk and off their heads. Frankly by some not drunk. Some bordered on the pale.

But we have to look past that especially if the person looks vulnerable. You have to help even whilst the person is sometimes cussing you out, and appreciate that half the time these people have no idea what they're doing.

Are you telling me the police are so thin-skinned that an inebriated teenager has gotten the better of them and they needed seven police officers to deal with words? Blimey, good job there wasn't an actual burglary or something happening then. I expect they'd struggle to cope.

Unbelievable. Ask any nurse or HCA what they get on a Friday or Saturday night. It's a wonder the police don't camp at the hospitals.

I hope they get royally sued. That BPO needs firing, she shouldn't be walking around thinking 'well at least I put the fear of god into her'

It is high time EDI training in all organisations started with disability awareness. Something that seems to have dropped off the radar in recent years.
