Daryl Gates — the man who was the LAPD Chief during the 1992 Rodney King incident — has died. Gates — who was 83-years-old — was heavily criticized for his “weak response” to the videotaped beating of Rodney King at the hands of several LAPD officers … which ultimately led to the infamous L.A. riots. Gates was suffering from bladder cancer. According to ABC7, Gates died at his home in Southern California.
