Sorry, Elleeit, but it currently isn't eligible. Please feel free to renominate if you're able to expand it five times or get it to GA status. If you do, be sure to submit within a week of that happening.

Killing of James Mincey Jr.
- ... that after the Killing of James Mincey Jr. and others by chokeholds, then LAPD Police Chief Daryl Gates made false and racially insensitive comments about Black people? Source: [1] "Chief Gates thought he was showing "great sensitivity" when he asked his aides to confirm his "hunch" that blacks might not recover as quickly as whites from carotid chokeholds. "We may be finding that in some blacks when it (the choke hold) is applied, the veins and arteries do not open as fast as they do in normal people.""

Hi Elleeit, unfortunately this article is not eligible for DYK. Per the eligibility criteria it must have been created or significantly expanded in the past seven days. While there is sometimes some leeway given on this rule this article was created on 30 April and not significantly changed since. You are welcome to bring it back if it can be expanded more than five times in length or if it becomes a Good Article - Dumelow (talk) 05:27, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
