Autistic girl arrested after calling police officer in the UK a lesbian

A teenage girl with autism was arrested in the United Kingdom after remarking that one of the female police officers looked like a lesbian, according to a video of the incident.

"She's getting arrested," a West Yorkshire police officer told the girl's mother in the video. 

"She's autistic," the mother answered. 

"I don't care," the officer responded.

The mother pleaded with the officers to keep their distance from her daughter as she began to experience signs of distress when the officers approached her and tried to put their hands on her.

"Go away," the mom said. "She's not homophobic. Go away from my teenage daughter."

West Yorkshire Police had brought the girl home after being contacted by a girl's relative that she was intoxicated at a shopping hub, authorities said. 

"Upon returning her to the address, comments were made which resulted in the girl being arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offense. The nature of the comments made was fully captured on body-worn video," police said, according to Fox News.
