Ignored 911 Call Turns Fatal In Berkeley; Police Busy With Occupy Protest

Berkeley Police acknowledge they didn’t immediately respond to a call in the hills that would eventually result in a homicide this past Saturday.

Officers were preparing for an Occupy protest headed to UC Berkeley from Oakland and said it didn’t appear to be an emergency.

Neighbors in the area of Grizzly Peak Blvd. and Park Gate Road said that the police response to the call was slow.

Peter Cukor, 67, had been beaten to death with a flower pot. The suspect, 23-year-old Daniel Dewitt, was taken into custody and will be arraigned on Wednesday.

Another senseless death caused by OWS goons and liberal politics.

How unfortunate.  :(

I understand why police class their calls, but there does need to be a revamp of that system.  This same thing happened with the Powell double murder-suicide.  The dispatcher told the social worker it was not an emergency when she smelled gas and Powell had just locked her out of his house for a supervised visit.

How big is Berkeley and do they really need all of their on-duty police officers at an occupy protest?

The city of Berkeley covers about eight square miles.

Is there going to be an OWS section to catalog all of this stuff?

its Berkeley, napalm from the sky would have been more effective on the OWSers.
