For those who are acquainted with the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the police in many places in the US South were often part of the far-right and murderous Ku Klux Klan. The most famous example of this was the collusion of the police in the murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner were arrested on false charges while in the process of investigating a church burning during Freedom Summer in 1964. They were held in jail while the Klan could arrange the details of the car chase that led to their torture and execution.
