BLM Leader Charged For Battery On A Police Officer

A Black Lives Matter leader– someone who supposedly stands up against “injustice” and misguided violence and cruelty– has been charged for battery on a police officer.

Dr. Melina Abdullah — a California State University professor and a Black Lives Matter leader in Los Angeles — faces charges stemming from her anti-police activism.

One of the charges includes battery on a Los Angeles Police Department officer. Abdullah could face up to a year in prison if convicted.

Of course, she’s denying any wrongdoing. She’s describing the charge as an “attempt to criminalize Black protest.”

So when did the alleged battery take place? What’s the deal?

Apparently, Abdullah has made a habit of rudely interrupting LAPD commission meetings. She has repeatedly crossed the line and resorted to “obstructing and intimidating” commissioners.” She’s been known to shout stuff like, “Fill up that room!” and “Scare the s**t out of them!”

Authorities charged Abdullah with eight misdemeanor counts involving altercations that reportedly took place on three separate occasions.

Charges include one count each of battery on an officer, resisting arrest, refusing to disperse, and interfering or obstructing a public business establishment. Other charges include three counts of unlawfully disturbing and breaking up an assembly and meeting, and two counts of unlawfully and intentionally interfering with the business of the LAPD commission.

The battery charge against Abdullah stems from a reported incident in which Abdullah reportedly grabbed an officer’s arm during a protest that had gotten out of hand.

She’s “fighting back” and recently shared this:

She’s being represented by Carl E. Douglas.

“I give you my word that there will be no plea to an assault on a police officer,” Douglas said. “If we cannot reach a resolution that satisfies my client, there will be a trial. And at that trial, we will expose the corruption of the LAPD.”

Mmmmkay.
