I can't work twitter so would be grateful if you had a link.
I see another source is saying that the mum of the teen is stating that she was told that the officer involved was suspended... can't have been a very long suspension!
I know exactly why this story has piqued my attention so much. I work with autistic young adults and it always worries concerns me they will run into a police officer like this - we've had some pretty hairy experiences over the last couple of years with frankly, batshit decisions from officers who seem to have very little life experience or understanding of the mental capacity act.
There's always been the odd police officer who is known as a bit of a dick but it feels endemic currently at the coal face trying to work with them and often finding their 'help' is mostly counterproductive.
I'm a middle class, middle aged professional who used to have good working relationships with the police. Wouldn't ring them now for anything unless I was professionally obligated to and even the I'm very very careful in how I word my reports.
