My friend's niece was arrested last night basically for being, perhaps not drunk but certainly disorderly in a public place while drinking with a group of friends (they're all mid-late 20s so not naive teenagers)
She's shouting the place down on Twitter this morning about how she was 'assaulted by the police' then arrested and taken to a local station.
However that's not what's worrying her. She's swearing like a trooper (public Twitter) about how even though she 'told them her pronouns several times 'the officers didn't refer to her as 'they' and how she's 'disgusted by the 'so called' LGBGT liason officer' (female) who apparently kept telling her to calm down.
She doesn't seem to care in the slightest about why she was arrested or what she was doing wrong but she's screaming on Twitter (and TikTok I believe, but I haven't seen that) about her rights, how she has the right to be listened too, how the 'fascist police' are refusing her, her rights etc etc.
All of her mates (from what I can see the majority of them were also arrested) are piling on to support her and when one person commented that she was drinking and was disorderly in a public place, refused to leave when asked to by police and then resisted arrest by kicking and screaming (she admits this herself in the tweets)
That person finished by saying that NONE of that is an LGBGT issue and that she's merely looking for sympathy while using her sexuality/gender as an excuse when the reason she was arrested is because she was (probably drunk) disorderly and abusive to police, and became violent and resisted arrest, and you know what? They're right.
My friend (her aunt) is really embarrassed, angry and upset over the whole thing. Her husband is a police officer.
UPDATE: She's now going to file a complaint against 'the fascist police who abused her and refused to accept her gender and her rights'.
