  1. [This List in progress as story unfolds:]

  3. Key points regarding the current investigation of Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan:
  4.  
  5. 1. Meehan's Statement Regarding the UC Police Station
  6.  
  7. Meehan made claims that the FTP march was headed to take over the UC police station. This assertion was the excuse given to the public why police prioritized the march to the point that certain types of calls for aid by the public were being ignored by the department. Meehan further stated that the information he was going on was publicly available on the internet. However he has failed to explain where the information can be found - the internet is a big place - and failed to produce a hardcopy printout of the alleged lead, for public scrutiny.

  13. 2. Did Meehan Give Kussmis [Reporter] Doug Oakley's Address?
  14.  
  15. There is discrepancy between statements made by police chief and the public relations point-person Sgt Kussmis. Meehan claimed Sgt Kussmis already knew reporter Doug Oakley's address, due to professional rapport. However Kussmis has stated that Meehan gave the Sgt the address the evening of the visitation.

  20. 3. Did Meehan ask Kussmis to appear in uniform? Did the Sgt have a gun?
  21.  
  22. Was the Sgt carrying a fire arm? It has not been clarified in what attire - in what demenor - the Sgt appeared in during the visitation to Oakley's house. Typically, as PR point-person, the Sgt does not wear police uniform, but wears personal civilian attire. Also is not typical for the Sgt to be presenting a side-arm in an obvious way. A bit of a fashionista, the Sgt rarely dresses to present authority.
