Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan sent his public information officer to an Oakland Tribune reporter’s house in the middle of the night on Friday to push for changes in a story that Meehan thought was inaccurate.
Chief Meehan then twice called the reporter, Doug Oakley, and sent him numerous follow up emails urging him to alter wording in the story about a community meeting called to examine Berkeley police response to the Feb. 18. murder of Peter Cukor.
The 12:45 am visit by Sgt. Mary Kusmiss on March 9 and subsequent police demands have left Oakley disturbed and shaken.
“I haven’t slept in 24 hours,” said Oakley, who lives in Berkeley and has written about the city for six years. “It was really intimidating.”

First they came for RUSH.
Bezerkley is as Bezerkley does!
Sounds about right. God help us, God help us.
Well, that’s about the gist of it. Most reporters are pussies when push comes to shove. If the bastard had sent an ‘information officer’ to my house at 1 AM without some kind of warrant or primary declaration of intention intention to arrest, he’d have been met at the door with some lethal intimidation himself.
Had the police call me at 3 AM one morning asking if I owned such and such car with license plate such and such. They were outside looking for a runaway and didn’t want to get shot by the ‘armed homeowner’....they knew me...
Well, now he has a nice story on the gestapo tactics of the police chief and his supporters in liberal craphole Berkeley.

The leftwing NAZI’s are following the same old playbook as they did in the Soviet Union and other countries.
Seems to me there were some people in central Europe doing that in the late thirties...........hmmmmm, now what were they called........it’s becoming clearer......
Sitterman applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel. One night, at 2:00 AM he heard a knock on his door.
“Who’s there?”
“The postman, you need to sign for a certified letter from the Israeli embassy.”
With trepidation, he opened the door and in burst two burly men who grabbed him and threw him to the floor standing on his chest so that he could barely breath.
“What is the free-est and most democratic country in the world, comrade?”, one of them demanded.
“The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!”
“And what country enjoys the greatest standard of living, the greatest personal security and the most secure pension in the world?”
“Of course it is the CCCP!”, Sitterman sputtered
“And what country affords the greatest protection of personal freedom and civil rights?”
“The great Soviet Union!”, Sitterman answered.
“Then, why Comerade Sitterman, have you applied to emigrate to Israel?”
“Because in Israel, the postman doesn’t come at 2:00 AM.”
The Nazis were left-wing. No need for the qualifier FRiend!
