Rumors of Police Blackmail Surface King case: Chief Gates flatly denies allegations that secret files have been kept on council members to coerce them into supporting him
1991
Overview
\"Chief [Daryl F. Gates] evidently has something on some of you,\" [Mary Henry], the leader of an anti-Gates group called Mothers in Action, told the council members. Gates said Henry's claim that information on drug use by council members was being used to extort their political support was \"even wilder\" than allegations that police officers were visiting council members at their homes. \"I don't know where she's getting any of that information,\" Gates said. The incident and its racial overtones have touched off a national debate on police brutality and led to demands for Gates' removal. The Police Commission placed Gates on leave in early April, pending the outcome of an investigation, but the action was quickly reversed by an unusual legal maneuver by the City Council.
