Mike Moulin, a former Los

Angeles police lieutenant who

cameunderfire for failing to

quellthe first outbreak of riot-

ing after the Rodney Kingbeat-

ing verdict, has died. He was

70.

Mr. Moulin’s daughter, Lee,

confirmed Monday that her fa-

therdiedat a Santa Monica

hospital on July 30 after a brief

illness.

Mr. Moulin was in charge of

officers at an intersection in

South Los Angeles when rioting

began on April 29, 1992, follow-

ing the acquittal of four officers

in the Kingbeating. Whenthe

angry crowdgrew and the vio-

lencespiraled out of control,

Mr. Moulinorderedhis out-

numbered officers to retreat.

Then-Chief Daryl F. Gates

said the absence of policeoffi-

cers on the streets emboldened

rioters and led the violenceto

spread. Days of unrest resulted

in more than50 deaths, more

than 2,000 injuries, and rough-

ly a billion dollars in property

damage.

Facing criticism for his de-

partment’sslowresponseasthe

rioting began, Gates singled out

Mr. Moulin and said the lieu-

tenant should have returned his

officersto the intersection of

Florenceand Normandie ave-

nues.

Mr. Moulin insisted he made

the rightcall and kept his offi-

cers fromhaving to use deadly

force. He sued Gates to clear his

name and alleged the LAPD did

little to prepare for possible ri-

oting.

‘‘We would have had 25 dead

police officers and several hun-

dreddead citizens,and you

would have beentalking about

real chaos,’’ Mr. Moulin told The

New York Times. ‘‘There was no

correct decision to make.’’

A photographerfor the

Times who was attacked at the

intersection credits Mr. Moulin

for rescuing him from the chaos

and getting him medicaltreat-

ment.

‘‘If he told the officers to stay,

it would have beena very differ-

ent riot,’’ Bart Bartholomew

said. ‘‘There was a real danger

... to me, it seemed like the on-
ly logical order to make at that
time.’’
The Webster Commission,
which studied the LAPDre-
sponseto the riots, concluded
that no specificriot plan was in
placeand sharplycriticized
Gates for leaving police head-
quarters as the riotsbeganto
attend a political event.
The Webster report cited
‘‘the poorstate of citywide and
departmental emergency pre-
paredness and the almost com-
plete breakdown of command,
control, communications and
intelligence... These funda-
mental failures preordained the
inadequate level of the depart-
ment’s general responsein the
field.’’
After the riots,Mr. Moulin
retired and later moved to Mex-
ico, where he worked as a pri-
vate security consultant.
‘‘He really loved serving the
community where the riots
happened,’’ his daughtersaid.
‘‘He loved the people who
worked there... it was always
important for him to be on the
side of the little guy.’’
Mr. Moulin also leaves his
wife, Norma Valles, another
daughter, BrendaRodriguez,
and two granddaughters.
A memorial was plannedfor
Thursday.
