The incident, which took place last February, featured 27-year-old, blue-haired Jarrett Vick in an altercation with the police after they arrived on campus to investigate a car theft.
When the police arrive, Vick is seen melting down and screaming, “Why do you let those pigs get away with this? They’re not supposed to be here!” (It is difficult to tell what he is referring to.) An officer asks him to stop shouting.
“F*****g try it!” Vick yells back. “Are you threatening me? You’re threatening me!”
“He is having a breakdown,” the officer observes. This triggers Vick into immediate escalation. “She! She!” Vick screams. “Just say the right pronoun!” He refuses to calm down, at which point the police officer pepper-sprays him.
The police begin to restrain him, prompting more profanity, as well as the repeated screaming of “She! She!” as he was arrested and handcuffed. At one point, Vick also asks a nearby university staff member to “please just tell them to use the right pronouns” as being called “he” causes “a lot of distress.”
The university staffer attempts to intervene in the situation but walks away in frustration when Vick screams “Get away! F*** you, cop!” He then tries to both kick the police and take a swing, and ends up getting tasered. The footage ends with Vick in the back of a squad car.
Vick’s arrest was not the first high-profile example of bizarre police interactions over pronouns. In Florida, the police were bewildered by escalating demands that they use “they/them” pronouns during a traffic stop, with the person in question insisting that the rejection of “non-binary” identities had caused “generational trauma”:
Vick was charged with battery for his attacks on police officers, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct, although he informed the New York Post that he was “(expletive) harassed by the cops.” He pleaded not guilty on all three counts, and the Sun noted that Orange County records indicate the case has since been marked closed.
