Welcome. Hello. Good evening. Everybody. So many of you, especially in the UK, I've seen

0:11.0

this story that's been the loose for the past couple of days about the teenage girl getting

0:17.2

dragged out of the house by the seven cops. And I'm going to show the video shortly so you

0:23.9

can put this into perspective. And what's happened is the kid said to one of the cops that

0:35.8

she looked like her lesbian man, which was a true thing. This kid was picked up in the town

0:44.6

center drunk by the cops, the moment called. And then she said this remark and it all went

2:01.0

shortly, I want to know if you guys think this was unreasonable, heavy-handed, illegal even.

2:09.6

It's really sad because the kids cowering in the corner and the mum saying she doesn't like to be

2:19.2

you know all these cops around are trying to grab her and it's yeah it's really uncomfortable viewing

2:24.3

so warning what's coming up. So the Leeds police did the right thing eventually. They confirmed they

2:37.0

are going to be taking no further action against the teenager and released her from bail but she

2:42.8

shouldn't even been on this bail or arrested in the first place I don't think. So I review of the

2:49.6

arrest by West Yorkshire police's professional standards directorate is ongoing. But we all know
