Occupy Protest Kills Man

Chalk up a death of a man because of the Occuppy protests in Berkeley, CA.
From CBS News in San Fransisco: 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.
Police issued a statement Monday night that said the initial call was for trespassing and that because on-duty officers were being reconfigured for the protest; only emergency calls were to be handled.
Police said they did immediately responded to a 911 call about an assault in the same area that came later that evening, but it was too late.
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.

The cops in Berkeley are just trying to covver their behinds.  In most police jurisdictions, a trespassing call is an emergency and this is one reason- trespassing can result in violence.
But it was nice enough the cops did respond to the murder after the fact.
But if not for the Berkeley Occupy protestors, Mr. Cukor would still be alive today and that cannot be disputed, so now, the Occupy movement has the murder of an innocent man on their hands.
