Daryl Francis Gates Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Daryl Gates (born Darrel Francis Gates; August 30, 1926 – April 16, 2010) was the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from 1978 to 1992. His length of tenure was second only to that of William H.Parker. As chief of police, he took a hardline, aggressive, paramilitary approach to law enforcement. Gates is credited with the creation of SWAT teams and DARE. After the Rodney King beating and the riots afterward, Gates resigned from the police department.
Los Angeles today is not like the city I knew when I started as a police officer. Over the years I saw L.A. falling apart piece by piece due to gang violence. Right now, we don't own the streets, they do!

About the Rodney King beating: "I was shocked like everybody else. And I knew that type of incident was going to happen since the suppression of the choke-hold appliance."
3
We are the butchers of society. Everybody wants to eat meat, but nobody wants to know how it's made! Which is exactly the same thing in law enforcement. Everybody wants safe streets, but nobody wants to know how it'll be done!
