Good point, but an even better point to me is that police should de-escalate not over-escalate, and this was exactly that. There was no reason for the cops to even be there and to ignore the fact that this person was autistic and to put them through that torture just because they said you look like a lesbian is way out of bounds. This person should lose their job.

They brought her home drunk and combative. The family called the police to take the daughter home from the local Pride Parade. It was as the police officer was bringing her into the house from the car that she allegedly said what she claims to have said.

If the female officer had a thicker skin, this wouldn’t have happened. If the parents had been sensible and just collected their daughter herself, this wouldn’t have happened.

I suspect that this is one of those problem families that are well known to the local police and that’s why they were calling up the rozzers for a lift and not Uber.

I fully agree that the aggrieved female officer should be disciplined, as until the full body cams are released (if that ever happens) it looks like she’s taken an annoying situation and blown it way out of proportion and if nothing else, put her colleagues and a child at risk of injury.

Thanks for the context. I used to be a 911 Operator/Police Dispatcher and I think it was around 50/50 actual emergencies to frequent fliers.
