Link Lauren has reacted to a resurfaced video of a trans woman's altercation with police from February last year. Inside the Blue TV uploaded this video on July 17, and it has gone viral on social media.
In February last year, the police were present at the University of Central Florida for a call unrelated to this incident. The bodycam footage from a cop was revealed as they had an altercation with Jarrett Vick. The then-27-year-old slammed the cop for allegedly "misgendering" them.
Vick started by saying:
The police officer told her to lower her voice, leading to Vick shouting and saying:
The cop then called for backup and said on his radio:
Vick then screamed:
A university worker attempted to calm the situation down, but with Vick getting more agitated, the cop used pepper spray on her.
Vick continued to scream, "She!" and slammed the cop for “misgendering” her. She told a university cop to “please just tell them to use the right pronouns.” As Vick tried to kick and take swings at the cops, one officer tased her before they handcuffed and arrested her.
Podcaster Link Lauren reacted to this viral video on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, July 21, writing:
Vick was eventually charged with battery on law enforcement, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. According to Orange County records (via New York Post), the cases have been marked as closed.
The podcaster is known for his statements against some trans policies and support in the past. Last month, Link Lauren, who is gay, spoke about why he doesn't join Pride movements during Pride Month, i.e., June. He said that he doesn't have time for the "shenanigans", and said:
Link Lauren added that gay people were demanding equality for decades, and 11 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled on gay marriage. However, he added that some people are allegedly playing the "victim card in cosplay like they're oppressed."
Last year, Lauren also spoke about a potential dip in LGBTQ+ support for Donald Trump. He said that the dip is allegedly mainly from the trans community and not from the "most normal gays that I talk to."
