L. A. Police Chief Gates stirs ire with postponement bluff
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Police Chief Daryl F. Gates called it a buff. His critics called it an attempt to hold City Hall hostage.
"The bully backed down this morning," said Ramona Ripston, executive director of the Southern California American Civil Liberties Union.
Gates said Monday he was not serious when he said he might postpone his retirement at the end of the month because of a dispute over the promotion of commanders. But that did nothing to soothe those who want him out.
Mayor Tom Bradley said Gates was well aware his threat would be disruptive.
"It's very clear that for his own heady reasons he was trying to hold the city hostage," said Bradley, who a year ago had called for Gates' retirement.
"He has left that Police Department in a total shambles. He has left this city in a hurch." Council member Zev
Yaroslavsky said. "That's the thanks he gives to the people of this city. He gives them the big finger."
Gates, who already had placed his retirement on hold once, said last week he might do so again to take a stand on behalf of captains up for promotion.
The threat stirred City Hall, which already was reeling from riots that left 52 people dead after four officers were acquitted in the Rodney King beating. Under civil service rules, Gates can be removed for misconduct only.
At a news conference Monday, however, Gates said he still planned to leave by month's end.
"I will admit that was a threat, a bluff, but it's the only thing a lame duck has these days," he said.
Gates has been under pressure to step aside since the videootaped King beating more than a year ago.
Gates said he merely wanted the city to keep the captains on a 2-year-old civil service list that expired this month.
"It's very clear that for his own heady reasons he was trying to hold the city hostage."
Tom Bradley Mayor of Los Angeles
His successor, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Willie Williams, spent Monday packing for his move to Los Angeles.
"I think that what we saw in California was the fact that when people push Chief Gates' button he reacts, and when he pushes people's buttons they react. It was a lot of gamesmanship going on," he said.
Man awakens with pain of arrow in his head
The Associated Press
Ekvall awoke early Monday in extreme pain, flipped on a light and saw his roommate reloading a crossbow, police representative Bill Robinson said.
SAN DIEGO — Doctors are predicting a complete recovery for a man who was shot through the head with an arrow that police say his roommate fired from a crossbow.
Arthur Ekvall, 29, was listed in serious but stable condition yesterday at Mercy Hospital. Doctors who removed the arrow said it had not caused any brain damage. Ekvall's roommate, 25-year-old Jesse Solis, was ailed without bail.
Despite the pain from the arrow piercing his head, Ekvall scuffed with his roommate and disarmed him. Robinson said. Solis ran outside wearing only his underwear and drove off in Ekvall's pickup.
POLICE said that when they arrived, they could hardly believe their eyes. The arrow had entered the base of Ekvall's neck and traveled upward through his head until it protruded from the side of his forehead near his left eye, they said.
"He told them, 'You can see the arrow when I open my mouth.' Robinson said, "He told them, 'I can also see it out my left eye if I work at
During more than two hours of surgery, doctors unscrewed the arrow point from the stem, then pulled the shaft back out through Elkall's neck. Mercy Hospital representative MaSchail Scahill said.
"It did not pierce his brain, and he apparently didn't suffer any brain damage," Scahill said.
"We've seen a lot of things around here — knives in people's skulls, pins in their ears — but never anything like this," Robinson said.
Solis was jailed for investigation of attempted murder and auto theft, pending an arraignment today, a jail representative said.
