The actions of police and other authorities increased tension during the Civil Rights Movement by resorting to physical violence to force them into submission. Fire hoses, attack dogs billy clubs and tear gas were some of the methods used against unarmed and helpless black people and their supporters. Racism and segregated public areas were still in effect in many cities and became hotbeds for many confrontations and riots that are an huge part of African American history and give much credit to the fight for equality. Law enforcement DID increase the tension during the Civil Rights Movement but force, no matter how excessive, can never decrease the human spirit in search of truth and justice.
We must understand that most of the white police officers and people in authority were members of the klan and its "off-branches." Although they were supposed to "protect and serve," they only "protected" the racist way of life and "served" the needs and wants of racial segregationists.
