re: #359 Decatur Deb
Those would be pretty old cops. The violence would have been common enough earlier, but the WWII vets were aging out. If it’s worth it, someone can review the personnel records.
The Civil Rights Act was 1965; the biggest marches and beatings were before that. WWII vets who joined the cops after they came home in 1946… and the random civilians deputized at Selma… were still of swing-a-billy-club age.
