Rutgers University professor arrested by police after criticising Trump on Twitter
A college professor who criticised online Donald Trump and his plans for America, said he was arrested and detained after campus police claimed he was a threat.
Kevin Allred, who teaches Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, New Jersey, said officers detained him after deciding his comments on the campus, and on Twitter, were dangerous. He said he was forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before before being released.

“NYPD just came to my house b/c Rutgers Police told them I’m a threat based on political statements I`ve made on campus and on twitter,” said Mr Allred.

“They’ve forced me to now undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the hospital. they brought me by ambulance tho I’m not under arrest technically.”

Officials at the college did not immediately respond to questions. Mr Allred could also not be immediately reached.

Mr Allred, who has taught a course at Rutgers titled ‘Politicising Beyonce’, made headlines last year when he said on Twitter there were “no good white people”.

“Until the entire system changes there are no good white people,” he wrote. “There are only less bad white people.”
