STOP MIS GENDERING ME JUST SAY SHE

They are entitled arseholes.

It's harmful to autistic people, especially autistic women, for men's shitty behaviour to be blamed on autism.

Well said!

The actual film starts at 15 seconds. The bit at the very beginning, with the 'misgendering', is an excerpt from later on. He starts screaming before the officer can even get a word out.

Well exactly.

This is just another "it's MAA'AM" moment but with more screeching.

Society has let this madness get out of control. The pp saying the police escalated this, wtf. Being compelled to lie got us into this bloody mess.

These men are mentally unstable, and used to getting their own way. Imagine him behaving like that to a female.

I feel as if he needed to be put in a police cell for everyone’s safety so he could calm down quietly before hopefully being taken to an appropriate facility. You can’t have people this angry and distressed wandering the streets shouting at everyone. He needs some kind of help.

I have had many supermarket meltdowns in which I have ended up sitting on the floor crying because something isn't there and it's too hot/bright/noisy or I'm dehydrated. I have yet to behave so atrociously that I have even been asked to leave, never mind have the police called.

It's almost like I'm female and he's male.

Look, whether someone's dangerous behaviour is precipitated from bad intentions or poor mental health is irrelevant to the danger placed on others.

Unfortunately, we are living in a society where (as pp clearly demonstrate) the latter is being used as an excuse for acceptability of dangerous behaviour.

Saying that we must accept dangerous behaviour because 'autism' creates yet another safeguarding loophole that bad characters will hide behind. It is not ableist to point this out.

When the officer said ok I’m gonna spray HER he said thank you lol didn’t care he was about to get a face full of pepper spray as long as he was called by the right pronouns

@selffellatingouroborosofhate The worst is when the supermarket does have everything in stock, because you checked the app before you went, but they have MOVED everything since the last time you were there.

My instinct is always flight. Abandon task and get out.

Dear apologists for violent men,

Stop blaming "autism" for men being violent.

I and my diagnosis are not a figleaf for the shitty entitled behaviour of violent men.

Yours faithfully,
an autistic woman.

This person was asking to be called a particular thing and instead was pepper sprayed. A decent police officer could have asked for the persons name. The coverage I’ve seen suggests they will have a massive successful lawsuit for a disproportionate intervention. The rest is just being a bullying mob to someone who is clearly suffering.
Picking on a vulnerable person is just the worst. Inhumane thread.

I'm not remembering any please and thankyou mid-meltdown either. That he is, tells me that it's a tantrum (trantrum? mantrum?) not a meltdown.

Unless I misunderstood the audio I think that the officer mentioned their name, which suggests that this is not their first rodeo.

They called him by his name repeatedly @Anyahyacinth. He is clearly a well known problem. A violent man throwing a tantrum because he was told no. What makes him vulnerable when it took two male police officers to handcuff him?

The only thing he was suffering was being called HE.

Yeah, but I have to buy food, so leaving isn't an option.

I knew where everything was! Why move it, you bastards?

I swear they only do it to piss people off.

He was told repeatedly what would happen if he kept it up. He chose to be the incident, instead of letting police do what they originally came for.

He needs help, he's clearly mentally unwell, but the police have a job and that's to protect everyone.

I can usually go back after I have regulated @selffellatingouroborosofhate, I just can't stay at the time. Thankfully I shop when it's very quite and really don't encounter many obstacles to leaving. 😅

There's a reason why I shop late at night: less people. Lidl is good, they don't move the food much and there's no piped music. They suck for gluten-free though.

They don't tend to move the freezers either. It's everything in between they use to screw us.

Lidl is ideal. They are all the same (in the most part). I know I will always find specific items in the same part of every store.

This person was 27 years old at the time of the video. A nearly 30 year old male, stomping, screaming and jumping up and down because other people didn’t validate their “identity”. I would expect better behaviour from a 4 year old.

'Confected outrage leads to predictable consequences' shocker. Imagine what would have happened if he'd been black.
