Dude this is wild. I had no idea laws were like this in the UK.

You need that entire headline so here it is:

"Moment seven officers drag 'autistic' girl, 16, kicking and screaming from Leeds home for committing a 'hate crime' after she told female cop 'you look like my lesbian nana'"

Seriously, that's a real headline. An autistic British teenager was dragged from her home on what seem to be charges of a hate crime after telling a female officer she looked like her lesbian grandma.

Here's the officer:

News flash: Uhh yeah, you look like this kid's lesbian grandma and everyone with a set of functioning eyes could tell you that. Not a hate crime for an autistic teenager to tell the truth. That's what autistic teenagers do.

But yet here we are in 2023 and the police are not just giving little autistic girls rides home — no, they're taking offense when that little autistic girl makes a small-talk comment and calling it homophobia. Side note: it's hard enough for autistic people to make small talk in the first place; why are we discouraging it?

Here's the video:

The mother posted: 'This is what police do when dealing with autistic children. My daughter told me the police officer looked like her nana, who is a lesbian.

'The officer took it the wrong way and said it was a homophobic comment [it wasn't].

'The officer then entered my home. My daughter was having panic attacks from being touched by them and they still continued to manhandle her.'

"It doesn't matter, she's getting arrested."

The police later released a statement saying the department "takes its responsibilities around the welfare of young people taken into custody and around neurodiversity very seriously."

Sound like they need time to work out if hOmoPhoBiA or neurodiversity is the most important oppression category!

I think maybe it's best if we do away with this whole hate crime fad.

Because if an officer can be offended enough by this to arrest a teenage autistic girl, then what else do you people think these snowflakes are capable of?
