Most local law enforcement agencies reflect the cultural attitudes of their communities, and a lot of local communities in this country were hostile to civil rights in the 60s. But your question caught my eye in particular because when I was in law school at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1969, a black classmate of mine, and fellow member of the Law School Civil Rights Research Council, who was out jogging was shot in the leg in a drive-by shooting. The shooter was never caught, and it's not known whether it was planned or spontaneous. But when the local FBI agents got the case, they said privately that the wound could have been self-inflicted -- a notion which was angrily rejected as racially biased by those who knew the student and the circumstances. The student went on to a fine legal career, including some years as a U.S. magistrate judge.

In some places they tried their darnedest. Have you never seen the news with the police battering people that are on peaceful marches. . .and the water hoses turned on blacks. . .and check out a Selma and Dr. Martin Luther King's marches where they feared for their lives. The police were as prejudiced as many of the people and in some places still are. There are people that did terrible crimes that are just now being prosecuted. Did it cripple the civil rights movements? No, it was time for a change and change it did.
