"The RCP [Revolutionary Communist Party] upheld the 1992 sometimes-violent unrest in Los Angeles and nationally as a 'rebellion' in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdicts. Then-LAPD chief Daryl Gates alleged that the RCP was involved in the 'riots'. Los Angeles has long been one of the RCP's larger and more active branches. William 'Mobile' Shaw was a local leader who recently passed and received public commendation from the party."

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party's] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

This man was damned for trusting the African American community.

May he rest in peace.

I tink you meant Chief of Police. I have to agree...he didn’t have anything to be ashamed of in the way he did his job! I would imagine it’s going to be a huge turnout - wonder if news will cover it here in the East.....

Authorizing his officers to use nun-chukas on peaceful pro-life citizens makes him a great chief of police?

You and I definitely have different opinions of him. May God have mercy on his soul.

I’m waiting to see how this plays out. It seems they are inviting protests by doing this. The LATimes calls him “controversial,” even after his death and basically the leftmedia propaganda machine tried to hang the riots on him. He is not getting good coverage in local media, to put it mildly.

LA had gone to hell long before he started as Chief, and he knew it. (Watts Riots, 1965)

He did the best that could be done, considering the circmstances.

Gates was one of the most anti-gun police chiefs in the country at the time, constantly backing up Klintoon and his attempts to ban this or that.

He may have been a good husband and father, and may otherwise have been a good officer and chief, but when someone takes a stance like that, my only response is: don’t let the door hit you in the ass, Daryl.

Gates was not chief at the time of the 1965 Watts riots.

He was chief at the time of the 1992 Rodney King riots, which effectively ended his career.

Gates presided over the biggest rise in gang violence in LA history, and violent crime has declined considerably since he stepped down. He was also one of the fathers of the DARE program, which makes me more upset than that mentioned above.

The RCP calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

“Gates was not chief at the time of the 1965 Watts riots.

He was chief at the time of the 1992 Rodney King riots, which effectively ended his career.”

I wrote poorly. I meant that LA had gone to Hell before Gates became Chief; the evidence being the 1965 Watts riots.

I didn’t mean, nor do I believe I stated Gates was Chief in 1965.

The 1992 riot was handled as well as could be realistically expected, considering the neighborhood.

In 1965 during the Watts riots, I was working on a construction jobsite in Orange County, with a young black fellow that lived in Santa Ana.

The Watts riots covered a weekend. On the Monday after, this coworker said: “I was going to go up to LA to visit my Mother, but those n****rs are shooting at n*****rs.”

Events in Lost Angeles like 1965 and 1992 probably caused a good amount of so called “white flight,” taking with it money and civility.

The 1965 construction site mentioned was in San Clemente, where Gates I hope enjoyably spent his last years.

Russell Banks? No surprise there as the SoB came to Humboldt County and riled up the local tribes and I had to drive through the Hoopa Reservation with two hand guns within reach...

Gates showed what cops in liberal cities will do when confronted with a mob throwing bottles and bricks - get in their squad cars and drive home. The Koreans standing atop their stores with rifles did more to protect private property and lives than the cops.

Good show, Gates. Maybe St. Peter will assign you as a crossing guard on heaven’s streets.
