The character of LAPD Chief Strickland is likely inspired by real-life LAPD Chief Daryl Gates who became notorious for his mishandling of the Rodney King beating of 1991 and the Los Angeles Riots of 1992, which occurred when the officers who had beaten King - an event captured on video by a bystander - were acquitted by an all-white jury. Much of this film takes its themes from those two events.
