Kevin Allred, a Rutgers professor who teaches a course called “Politicizing Beyonce” (I kid you not) was arrested and underwent psychological evaluation before being released.
From The Blaze:
The New York Police Department stepped in Tuesday to take Kevin Allred to Bellevue Hospital after being contacted by the Rutgers Police Department, NBC 4 New York reported. Allred has since been released.
The professor has intensely criticized President-elect Donald Trump on Twitter since his surprise victory and took to the social media platform to blast the police for taking him into custody for comments he said were nothing more than “political statements,” not actual threats.
“[E]ven the doctors thought it was ridiculous to take me to a psychiatric hospital and force me into evaluation,” he tweeted. “[I]t was f***ing intimidation.”
Then, Allred, lacking any real evidence, tweeted that his arrest is “proof positive that Trump’s crackdown on free speech has absolutely begun.”
& to be clear: my statements the police labeled threats were abt burning the american flag& me posing a rhetorical question on 2nd amendment
i said: would conservatives care as much abt the 2nd amendment if guns killed more white people? a question meant to expose double standard
So, what was the innocent political statement that Allred made?
“will the 2nd amendment be as cool when i buy a gun and start shooting at random white people or no…?”

So, shooting random white people is innocent political speech? What would happen if a white man said that about blacks?
