What lead up to this event? Why were there so many officers 👮♂️ involved with the arrest of one teenager who didn’t appear to be armed, violent or threatening while wailing in a cupboard under the stairs? Was back-up called because there were at least two adults there shouting? The officer in the cupboard was at least attempting to talk to the girl although his presence and uniform probably heightened her emotions.
Zero awareness of autism, she made an observation and connection, blonde haired woman reminded her of her grandmother. Grandmother is a lesbian therefore someone similar must be as well, logical conclusion. How is that an insult? I would be more upset at being seen as older, but that’s my insecurity. Nothing negative was said, as far as video shows, about being a lesbian or even a grandmother.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour towards a young person who appears not to be a threat, has been described as having autism plus a medical condition by a mob of professionals who should know better.
Many people with autism do make statements that can be seen as offensive as they are factual observations. I was made aware of a school suspension when a child with autism said a trans student was a boy not a girl.
