Contemporary culture equaled the phrase, "...down with the system"; anybody in uniform (peace officers/military, etc) represented the government. For the younger generation of today, all of the peace officers of today...were NOT peace officers during the 1960's. For example: Firemen, Forest Rangers, Park Rangers, Life Guards, etc. were NOT peace officers in the 1960's (They DID NOT carry firearms). The riots and the attacks on those professions caused laws to be enacted to make them peace officers, in some cases armed officers, during the mid-1970's (approximately 1976). So, peace officers in the 1960's were basically either Sheriff Deputies or City Policemen. California Highway Patrolmen were State Traffic Officers.
