Great police chief? Are you kidding?
This phoney should burn in Hell.
Gates was a tireless advocate of restrictive gun control laws that would disarm citizens on the grounds that it is the "job" of the police to protect citizens from criminals.
In 1992 during the Rodney King Riots, however, Gates ordered the LAPD to surrender the streets of the city to rioters, withdraw to their fortified police stations and leave citizens to fend for themselves. Gates went on TV and said, "You're on your own. We cannot protect you."
In the aftermath of the Rodney King Riots, more than 3,000 lawsuits were filed against the county and cities for failure to provide police protection. Every one was dismissed on the basis that under the California Gov't. Code, police, cities, counties, etc., are IMMUNE from liability for failure to provide police protection.
The same lying piece of crap who wanted to take away your guns because it was the "job of the police" to protect you, hid behind sovereign immunity when he and other frauds were sued for failure to do their "job."
