British Police Assault, Arrest Teenage Autistic Girl for 'Homophobic' Remarks
[PJ] A 16-year-old autistic girl in the UK had begun behaving oddly. Her sister called the police for help, at which time she was escorted home.

So far, so good. An autistic girl is acting a bit erratic, as often happens, so the authorities are called for help.

This is when things take a left turn, via Reduxx (emphasis added):
As [the mother] brought her daughter in, the girl made a would-be innocent remark about the female officer who had been amongst the West Yorkshire police escorting her.

"She said ’I think she’s a lesbian like nanna Julie,’" [the mother] recounts, noting that the female officer had short blonde hair. "I just felt a jolt on my back... the officer had launcher herself in my home at me and Amanda. She was grabbing her."

Snow says her daughter scampered into a cupboard under the stairs and began crying and apologizing, unsure of what was going on. Amanda also began self-harming out of stress.

"She was crying and saying sorry to the police woman. That’s when I grabbed my phone and started recording."

Footage from the incident, which has reportedly been removed twice from TikTok for unspecified reasons (I’m going to go out on a limb and say "hate speech" or some other Social Justice™ hallucination):

#2 From the article:

The autistic teenager was subsequently brutally hauled off to jail for reportedly 20 hours, after which she was released with no charges filed.

At least she wasn’t imprisoned for long. The rest is appalling. I do understand that the police cannot be expected to intuit that an offense is due to mental/emotional difficulties rather than malicious intent, but that they are required to enforce this law is simply evil.

#3 Was not even speaking to the cop when she spoke.
