... that after the Killing of James Mincey Jr. and others by chokeholds, then LAPD Police Chief Daryl Gates made false and racially insensitive comments about Black people? Source: [1] "Chief Gates thought he was showing "great sensitivity" when he asked his aides to confirm his "hunch" that blacks might not recover as quickly as whites from carotid chokeholds. "We may be finding that in some blacks when it (the choke hold) is applied, the veins and arteries do not open as fast as they do in normal people.""
