Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Melina Abdullah’s Lawsuit Against LAPD Dismissed
A Los Angeles jury has ruled in favor of the LAPD in a lawsuit filed by Black Lives Matter co-founder Melina Abdullah. The lawsuit stemmed from a 2020 incident in which officers responded to a swatting call at Abdullah’s residence. Abdullah alleged that the police knew it was a hoax but responded anyway to intimidate her due to her anti-police advocacy. However, the jury found that the police acted appropriately based on the information they had at the time.
Abdullah Plans to Appeal Ruling
Abdullah has expressed disappointment and disagreement with the court’s decision and plans to appeal the ruling. She contends that the outcome reflects an unjust system and that she was targeted for her activism.
West Stands in Solidarity with Abdullah
Cornel West, Abdullah’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election, has expressed support for her. He has denounced the verdict as a miscarriage of justice and pledged to continue fighting for truth, justice, and love.
Implications for Presidential Race
Abdullah’s legal battle and her selection as West’s vice-presidential pick have drawn attention to the issues of police brutality, racial profiling, and the need for police reform. Their campaign platform centers on empowering marginalized communities and addressing systemic inequalities in the criminal justice system.
