The professor also suggested her race could have played a factor, tweeting after her removal: “the white PBI [Pat Brown Institute] director called the police on me.”<\/p>\n

Videos of the incident show campus police officers, each holding one of Abdullah’s arms, lifting her from the seat and removing her from the premises. Several people who appeared to support Abdullah, stood in front of the officers, blocking their path, or yelled at them for their actions.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, Abdullah took to Twitter to respond to supporters, thanking them.<\/p>\n
