A probable cause statement filed in March 2025 by a campus police detective stated that Stein and other protesters grabbed the bike from the officer riding it, according to reporting from the Washington Post.
When a second officer tried to assist, they were struck in the left forearm, according to the statement.
When the bicycle was in the air, Stein allegedly kicked the officer in the “rear right leg and the groin.”
Stein was arrested, according to the statement, and the officer was diagnosed with contusions in his testicles and right leg.

Accuse a frail old lady of ripping your balls off and claim you're a real police officer instead of a glorified hall monitor.
Not Stein herself, but her running mate in 2024 was one of those "biological men shouldn't be in womens sports" types of "ally" and Stein herself never clarified the extent of the party's platform re-comprehensive anti-discrimination for trans people. She has also never made any statements about whether or not states should be allowed to ban gender affirming care for kids, only that people should be allowed to use the bathroom of the gender they identify as, so she's a bit shaky on the issue.
iirc the greens had a bunch of issues getting their ticket together. they should do better in general
I have reached the conclusion that if an American political organisation has more than 4 members it will have at least one transphobe. They're everywhere, and they can't help themselves from bigoting all over everything.
