England sucks. An autistic girl is arrested for speech. That should be enough to reach level 5 sucking. The speech was directed towards a police officer in which the girl uttered the police officer looked like a lesbian. Seizing a young lady for expressing that opinion is worth 1 “you suck” point. The Island Nation finally achieved a perfect score of 10 suck points by getting 4 for the ridiculously stupid conclusion that calling someone a lesbian is a crime by itself. Think about this: If you are gay or a lesbian living on this tiny shithole island and witness this arrest, how does that make you feel about your identity? Is being “accused” of being a lesbian so awfully outrageous, such an insult, that a 16 year old autistic child should be grabbed by the bobbies? Is actually being a lesbian so egregious that the state needs to step in and protect you? Self esteem be damned! What does that say about how this turd nation actually feels about the Gay community? Great Britain needs to change their name to Sucky Britain. Autistic girl screams and cries as police arrest her after comment about officer looking like a lesbian
So she was publicly intoxicated? “Officers said she was taken home after reports that she was intoxicated and at risk in Leeds city centre.” Police face complaint over arrest of autistic Leeds teenager
Semi pertinent but it's called Great Britain because it is the largest of the British Isles. Not because they think highly of themselves.
Like you all still cant blame even the British cops for possibly being too aggressive with a person who was clearly having some issues
It’s unfortunate the drunk autistic teenager was wrongly arrested. Of all the terrible shit happening in the world this seems pretty tame.
lol ... so she was arrested for public intoxication ... and not really arrested, just taken home? Look, I can play this game. Man in America was arrested after breathing. He was taken into custody after he took a breath in front of police officers (note: there may have been other things he did that actually caused the arrest, but he was definitely arrested after he had taken at least on breath). This proves America is at stage 5 Suck. Edit ... also funny this coming from the people who tell you if black people would just say "yes sir, no sir" to the police they wouldn't have any problems...

Maybe if black people start doing homophobia when they encounter cops we can make some progress in this country. At least we can find out what kind of bigotry is more powerful!
But, that is my third point. How is calling somebody gay hate speech? In order for you to come to that conclusion, actually being gay has to be so despicable that the state is forced to create a law to ban the use of the identifier as hate. There is absolutely no logic involved in this.
It’s been said that you can determine who has the power by determining whom you’re not allowed to offend. Test: see if cops brutalize and arrest you for calling them conservative white Christians.
Until I hear that pulling someone over for driving while gay is a thing, methinks that question is answered.
Have you ever considered cops dont give a damn about the law, and will invent any pretext no matter how flimsy to arrest someone to end a disturbance?
