A Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles leader Melina Abdullah was forcibly removed by campus police from a mayoral debate at Cal State Los Angeles. Abdullah is a professor at Cal State L.A. and a former chair of the school’s Pan-African studies department.
a mayoral forum focused on Asian American Pacific Islander issues that was held Saturday in Little Tokyo.
“I should have been able to watch the mayoral debate that was happening on my own campus,” Abdullah said to The Times in a written statement. “I’m still processing the fact that Raphe Sonenshein, someone who called himself a friend, who I’ve known well since I was in graduate school, called the police and had me forcibly and brutally removed.”
“I was really interested in this debate, and I was so disappointed at my school for not having a representative here,” Navarro said. “I wish there hadn’t been that exchange at the beginning. But by the same token, I think it’s really important that everybody is respected,” said Mike Feuer, L.A. city attorney. “That includes all the viewers, the candidates and the people of Los Angeles who are entitled to have a debate that isn’t interrupted.”
