I agree w/ SOME of what Don related. I certainly think burning in Hell is a bit over the top, but Gates was hardly any prize for the City of Los Angeles.
Firstly, he was a supporter of Special Order 40.
Secondly, I will never, never, never forget the scenes that played out during that shameful riot in '92. Those LAPD cops did practically nothing. They largely stood around being PC while a pack of animals (many of whom were illegal aliens and their offspring) looted, burned and decimated this City.
I have sympathy for the man's family regarding their loss and wish former Chief Gates a restful eternal peace, however, I'm certainly not going to delude myself by looking at his career through wishful rose colored glasses.
