What the video showed
A teenage girl arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offence will face no further action, police said.
A video uploaded to TikTok by her mother showed the autistic 16-year-old being detained outside her home in Leeds in the early hours of Monday.
The hell it does. The police detained her inside her home, as we’ve all seen from the video. Bare feet on carpeted stairs; the police tromping all over the carpeted floor of the hall; the 16-year-old cowering at the end of a short corridor; inside.
It’s possible that she said the shock-horror thing about the cop looking like a lesbian like her aunty outside the door; we don’t know, because that bit isn’t on tape; but the aggressive excessive furious detaining happened inside.
West Yorkshire Police said it had reviewed the evidence and closed the criminal investigation.
The force’s professional standards department is carrying out a review after it received a complaint.
A complaint? I rather think it was more than one.
… But a reliable secondary source, such as the BBC, trumps a primary source, like the tape – provided WYP aren’t stupid enough to edit Wikipedia from their own offices.
