That's absolutely pitiful! As I've said before, Berkeley PD should be ashamed of themselves. When an officer of the court, in this case a cop, witnesses a crime - of any level - it is their sworn duty to intervene and take necessary actions.
Berkeley Cops "Neutral" is an eye-witness account of Berkeley Cops refusing to intervene. The cop who says "I'm not the complaint office" is an insult! What a JERK! Apparently none of the other several officers within ear-shot did anything to "protect & serve" either. I'm tempted to send this video to the Berkeley Police Chief... though it probably wouldn't do any good.
REQUEST - if anyone has a Berkeley Ping List please add me to it. Thanks in advance.
Semper Fi!
The Berzerkeley police (like more than a few other PDs in the US) stood around with their thumbs in their nether regions and did nothing.
Berzerkeley politicians and the PD are setting the stage for a riot. Did you see Zombie's video of the mob that started shoving around, then chased two SF State College Republicans down the street, calling to one another to "hit him"? After the mob chased them a half a block, the Berzerkeley PD finally caught on and stepped in.
Message to the Berzerkeley PD: Those nightsticks that you carry are not jewelry. They are tools. They have a use.
