The details make it far worse. They knew they were dealing with a mentally challenged teenager so she could have said some crazy shit. The thing that was said was incredibly tame but the cops should have been ready for crazy stuff then got triggered by the word "lesbian".

Yeah, and in context it’s even crazier when the mother says “her nana is a lesbian married to a woman” so it’s not even meant as an insult, just an observation that the female cop looked like her grandmother.

There was an out for the cop too, she could simply have de-arrested the girl and done the teacher thing of giving a little lecture about being nice. But egos were bruised.

I can't even comprehend that a cop can police the speech of a person in their own house. It's hilarious when these European countries claim with a straight face that they have free speech while simultaneously defending this stuff.

Maybe she was just be very insulted to be compared to someone's Nana?
