White Man Calls Police On His Black Neighbor Because He Didn't Believe He Lived In His Building

There might be a reason for why he acted this way. Not excusing it, but I think this article provides some much-needed context.

Berkeley police are partly to blame for the slaying of a man who was bludgeoned by a mentally disturbed person, the victim's family said Friday, because officers weren't allowed to respond to his emergency call for help.

The two grown sons of Peter Cukor, 67, criticized the Police Department for failing to respond to their father's call for help about an intruder on his property, noting that he had called a number that police describe on their website as an emergency line.

Cukor told the dispatcher, "He says that he lives here. He wants to come in, which is very strange. I'd like an officer up right here away." It's not clear if Cukor meant to say, "I'd like an officer up here right away," or if the transcript was in error.
