Trigger warning: Girl gets arrested, seemingly for being Autistic in a built up area.

Firstly: As the (annoying) commentry indicates we don't know all the facts here.

Secondly: It's a "zero hedge" article featuring PJW, so will be utter anathema to some people.

Thirdly: It's morbidly interesting, and somewhat thought provoking.

    It is illegal for an adult to buy alcohol for a minor, or for a licensee to sell alcohol to a person under age. If it was a private party, there should have been an adult in charge. That said, it is not uncommon for teenagers to drink alcohol, or even become intoxicated. The police brought a vulnerable young person home, which sounds like an appropriate response. Whether it needed so many officers is open to question.
