That was fucking sad. This autistic girl spoke a fact about an observation and these cops fucking acted like little ass middle school kids being butt hurt. They all should be fired for this.
Seems quite excessive a reaction, I was not aware English cops were so thin skinned. Was there a reason the 16 y/o needed to be arrested instead of cited?if she had said the male cop looked like freddy mercury, would that be homophobic? Seems like a stupid use of their time

Does the UK have an equivalent to Americas 1A? Seems like a pretty severe reaction to harmless words…

The obvious solution is have the Nana dress as a cop and spring her.

I’m sure the cop would prefer this wasn’t going viral. So at least there’s that…

Depending on how nana looks, of course, I might have taken it as a compliment! 🤨
Seeksp says
And cops wonder why the public hates them
