I see a case of clueless police here, not the "evil police". They don't apply excessive force and are generally respectful. They execute dumb instructions the best they can; what they don't know is that for this particular child the experience could be 100x more traumatic than for a neuro-typical child, and this child shouldn't have been arrested in the first place, even if he misbehaved. Instead of blaming police I would see this is an opportunity to educate everyone on the autism and how to properly deal with it. Especially given the fact that April is the National Autism Awareness month. People talk about diversity and inclusion a lot, in the context of gender or race or anything; I have never heard "diversity specialists" talk about neuro-diversity even though this impact major part of the population. This has to change.
