Chief’s ‘racist’ words
elicit suspension call
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A civil rights
group on Tuesday called for the suspen
sion of Police Chief Daryl Gates because
of his comment that blacks might be
more likely to die from chokeholds since
their arteries do not open as fast as they
do on "normal people.”
John W. Mack, president of the Los
Angeles branch of the Urban League,
said Gates should apologize for the
remarks published Saturday and said
Gates needs time off to "remove his foot
from his mouth and the chokehold from
the necks of black people ”
"It was incredible that he would make
such an outrageous statement and such
a stupid statement," Mack said, calling
the comments of the white, 33-year
police veteran "racist, archaic and ig
norant."
The Urban League's executive com
mittee voted Monday to demand that the
Police Commission censure Gates and
suspend him without pay, Mack said, and
also resolved to seek a ban on bar-arm
and carotid holds
Since Saturday, three City Council
members and 20 community representa
tives have called for Gates to resign.
Mayor Tom Bradley, who is black,
criticized Gates but did not call for his
resignation. Following the mayor's order,
the Police Commission will meet Wed
nesday to consider whether to discipline
Gates.
Carotid holds, which render a suspect
unconscious by cutting off blood to the
brain, have come under growing crit
icism from groups that claim they con
stitute brutality.
Groups criticizing police use of bar
arm control holds and carotid holds have
said 15 people have died in Los Angeles
because of such holds since 1975. C<
those, 12 were black.
Last week, Gates banned the bar-arm
hold, in which the forearm is held across
the throat to subdue a suspect. The
carotid artery hold, which is under review
by the U S. Supreme Court, involves
pinching off the artery in the neck with
the hand
In an interview with the Los Angeles
Times, Gates said “It seems to me that...
we may be finding that in some blacks
when it (chokehold) is applied, the veins
or the arteries do not open as fast as they
do on normal people ... I'm having my
people look at that very carefully ."
Gates said he got the idea that blacks
may have a different physiological re
sponse to carotid holds from a report
quoting Dr. Wallace Gaye of Harbor
UCLA Hospital
Gaye said Gates "misinterpreted'' his
statements
Gates said he would not apologize for
the remarks.
