Daryl Gates writes that the Los Angeles Police Department had a special
intelligence unit that ran a program which sent American spies to Russia,
totally clandestine and under deep cover. This was during the during the same
period when Lee Harvey Oswald made his strange trip to the Soviet Union. A
natural question arises; was Oswald part of the LAPD program?
?
A few words about Daryl Gates are in order. Gates went to University of
Southern California on the G.I. Bill. He worked closely with the infamous
Police Chief Bill Parker. Gates is a notorious right winger.? Even someone as
famous as Peter Ueberroth was not afraid to ask the question, "Is it true that
Daryl Gates is a Nazi?"
?
He was in charge during the Watts riot that occurred five days after the Voting
Rights Act passed in 1965. Despite all his failures during the riots, he was
still considered an expert on riots and riot control and helped prepare other
police chiefs for the riots that would occur in other parts of the country.?
His policies were viewed as racist and led to the Rodney King beating and many
other abuses of police power
?
He?started S.W.A.T, Special Weapons and Tactics, which put military weapons
into the hands of the police.
?
He worked with the Marines at Camp Pendleton to find the best snipers.?
?
?
Two interesting facts emerge when studying Daryl Gates.
The first one is how interested he was in Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK
assassination.? Just hours before Oswald was murdered by Ruby, Gates was on the
phone talking to the Dallas Police Department.
?
The second one is that he was in charge of Robert Kennedy's security at the
Ambassador Hotel the night of RFK's assassination.?? Actually, there was no
security.? Gates kept the police away, claiming somebody told him Bobby didn't
want the LAPD there.
?
The Los Angeles Police would burn most of the photos related to the
assassination before Sirhan's trial began. Then Gates kept the case secret for
twenty-five years. When he was forced to release the files, he had destroyed
most of the evidence
