Autistic teen arrested after telling an officer she looks like a lesbian.

Well, if that picture in the article was of the officer in question, she does indeed look like a lesbian.

Too bad the personality ruins it.

Masking sucks.
I wish we could live a world where you could act like yourself without fear of being ARRESTED.
P.S. Really, that hurt the police officers' feelings? I've been called way worse things by other teenagers, but you don't see me beating them up.

I have been accused of looking like a lesbian myself and I have never called the police for that. I read the article and it sounds like she was just being blunt. That officer sounded like she was out of line and had no concern for anyone other than herself.

Police forces in the United Kingdom are known to often be lacking in any kind of reasonable disposition.

In similar ways to US police officers (police brutality and so on). Luckily they don't have guns for their itchy trigger fingers.

Sure, that's a little rude, I don't think she should be arrested for it.
