Abdullah argued that police had known the swatting call was a hoax, but responded to her home anyway in an attempt to intimidate her due to her anti-police advocacy.
Police argued they acted appropriately, saying a caller had claimed he had taken three hostages inside Abdullah's home. He threatened to kill the imagined hostages if he did not receive a payment of $1 million.
