After only a day in either city, the sight of a line of state troopers forty men long and two men deep, with billy sticks poised, was--if still remotely terrifying--no longer shocking. Outside Brown's Chapel in Selma one could usually count 10-20 state troopers' cars. On Jackson St. in Montgomery half a dozen unmarked cars were constantly milling about. City police walked aimlessly through the street, trying to learn when there would be a march, and where the demonstrators would head.

...this police power? It is too soon to say. The of the restraining elements, like Lackey, the paranoic elements, like Clark, is far tenuous, and even Lackey is only protecting status quo.

But states-righters--and there are many of them--moan and wail about a "Federal Police Force" in any state. Their complaints must not make us lose sight of the real issue here: Will justice be administered in Alabama? And in any case, the mere presence of Federal power in that state does not mean that Federal officials would be preempting the local policemen's duties. The Federal representatives would be in Alabama only to ensure that those duties...
