This stuff happens in Berkeley, CA???
It’s hard to believe, but this just came across the news:
Berkeley officials have retained an outside law firm to investigate the police chief’s decision to dispatch a sergeant to a reporter’s home in the middle of the night requesting corrections to a news story.
…
Meehan sent Sgt. Mary C. Kusmiss to the home of Bay Area News Group reporter Doug Oakley at 1 a.m. Friday morning to ask for changes to a story Oakley wrote about the chief’s comments at a community meeting the day before. The chief continued to demand changes throughout the following day in phone calls and e-mails, Oakley said.
Probably not surprising in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, etc… but Berkeley? Wow.

That prompted a Michigan teenager who was bullied in middle school to start an online petition calling for a lower rating for the film so more young people can see it. She met with MPAA officials last week and delivered the 200,000 signatures she collected, but the group declined to change the rating.
