CIVIL DISORDERS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL
11
by
H. T. Jen kins
Atlanta, Georgia
During the past summer 52 American cities suffered civil disorders, street
fighting and riots that caused wide spread death and injuries to
the population and the police of these cities.
Looting and burning was responsible for property damages that caused many
millions of dollars.
The local police in most of these cities kept the situation under reasonable
control and he ld property damages to a minimum , but there
were many arrests and some deaths or injuries, and damages
in a ll of these cities.
The local police in s ome of these cities failed to maintain law and order ,
and when t h,: situation had gotten out of control, it was necessacy
to call on the State Police and the National Guard to restore
or der, a nd in one city it was necessary to ca ll on the U. S. Army
to come in and restore or der.
�- 2 -
There were other cities, where the local government did not believe they
had the necessary manpower and equipment in such an uprising
to maintain law and order, and called for assistance from the
National Guard before the situation had gotten out of control.
On July 27, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson by executive order,
appointed a National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders.
The Commission consists of eleven members - a governor, a mayor,
four members of Congress, a business man, a labor leader,
a civil rights leader, a lady and a chief of police.
Governor Otto Kerner was appointed Chairman.
Mayor John B. Lindsey was appointed Vice Chairman.
Mr. David Ginsburg was appointed Executive Director.
This State of Kentucky is well represented on the Commission by the
distinguished Secretary of Commerce, the very able and
attractive Miss Katherine G. Peden.
I am deeply grateful and very humble for the opportunity to serve on such
a distinguished commission.
The Commission held its first meeting with President Johnson at the White
House 'on July 29, 1967.
�- 3 -
After administering the oath of office, President Johns o:r~ inJormed the
Commission of the seriousness of the civil disorders that
the cities of this nation had experienced in the last two years.
This was supported by all the information and reports that the President
had received.
The President said thi s commission was to take top priority over all
other commissions and that all the facilities and personnel
of the Federal Government would be made available to assist .
. The President also said that civil disorders can be stopped -they must be stopped - and they will be stopped.
The President instructed the commission to determine -what happened -why it happened -and what must be done to prevent it from happening
again and again - and to furni s h him an interim report by March 1st, 1968
and a final report by August 1, 1968.
I left t he White House with a very strong feeling that thi s nation is
'
ext remely fo r tunate in having Lyndon B. Johnson a s Commander
in Chief during the se ve r y t r ying time s.
�- 4 -
He is a very dedicated and able man, and tough enough to do the job.
Again this belief was confirmed when President Johnson made a very
fine and timely speech to the International Association of
Chiefs of Polic e in Kansas City on Sept ember 14th.
The Commission has been meeting about two days each week in
Washington and has visited several of the cities that
suffered th e greatest damages.
Mr. Ginsburg has established a very fine organization to do the staff
work.
Most of the staff p ersonnel was drafted from other agencies.
The full commi s sion has questioned more than 100 witnesses, that
included governors, mayors, chiefs of police, r ioters,
and everyone elese concerned with civil disor ders.
The C ommission will not wait for the March deadline, but will
present an interim report to the President just as soon
as we can get it ready.
What I say to you today are my personal beliefs and does not necessarily
reflect the views of any of the people that I work for or
work with.
When some civil right leaders abandoned their non-violent approach and
became "Black Power" advocates of force and violence,
�- 5 -
most of the white population was shocked and frightened,
but this was the motive behind the Black Power movement,
to achieve their goals through fear, intimidation, and force.
It was designed for shock treatment.
Most of the Negro population did not approve or disapprove this
approach at that time, but took a "wait and see" attitude.
But, today I believe a great majority of the white and Negro population
recognizes "black power" as a reality , but believes its
strength lies at the ballot box and in the courts, and not
in the streets and alleys.
The motives supporting the black power militant movement is almost
identical to the motives supporti:1g the old Ku Klux Klan.
I believe the police have the best public support today that we have
ever had.
But let me warn you not to be deceived by this support.
The people have been frightened by civil disorders and r i ots and they
are looking to the police to stop it now.
And, if it demands - a tooth for a tooth, and
an eye for an eye -the local police must be prepared to make law and or der thel:r
first order of business.
�- 6 -
Dr. Kennet. C :.ark, author of "Dark Ghetto - - Dilemma of Social Power"
reoently said, "police brutality was not a problem, or at
least it was not a seriqus problem, the real problem," he
said, "was police \n~fficiency and police corruption."
I do not know how much of that statement is true.
It would depend on the city and ttie persons involved.
But, I do know that these are the problems that every chief of police
tn this natiott ntu~t give his immediate attention and best
efforts if we are going to accept all of our responsibility
and furnish the kihd of police service that every American
citizen has ever right to eXl'ect.
The Mayor and the Chief of Police h,as the sole respon~ibility to protect
life and p;roperty, to maintain law and order in their
respective cities.
Every city must hav~ the necessary cpmmunication and reports from all
segments of the population to determine what the problems
are, an(i when and where civ~l disorders are likely to occur.
They must have thf;! necessary equJprnent and trained personnel to solve
thes~ problems and if street fighting starts - - to move in
immediately with sufficient force to stop it before it gets out
of control.
�- 7 -
If t hey cannot do that, the mayor has t he responsibility to ask the governor
to furnish the National Guard, and if this is not sufficient, the
Governor has the responsibility to ask the President of the
United States to order the U. S. Army to come in and restore
orde;r, or even to prevent civil disorders.
Now, as I understand the laws and ordinances of the many citie s and states
in this nation, the Mayor and the Chief of Police are the
commanding officers of their re spective police dep artments,
but once the Natio:qal Guard is or dered in, the Gover nor and
the Adjutant General becomes the commanding officer of that
city or state, and once the U. S. Army is ordered in, the
highest ranktng officer designated by the President, becomes
the commandfng officer of all armed personnel in that a r ea.
The P resident of the United States is the Commander- in Chief of all ar med
per so11n.el in this nation, and that include s ever y poli ce officer
in a poli~e department.
As I also under stand the law in the var ious states, the governor might order
t he National Guar d to go into a city at the request of the mayor - or the gover nor might or der the guards to go in on hi s own
iniative and judgment.
The same thing is true of the U. S. Army .
�- 8 -
The President might order the army to go into a city or state at the
request of the governor, or the President might order the
army to restore law and order and to protect the C onstitutional Rights of American citizens in any state, with or
without a request from the governor.
The United States President has found it necessary to take such action
many times in the last 17 5 years.
I recall two such occasions very well - -
l.
President Eisenhower ordered Federal troops into Little Rock,
Arkansas, without a request from Governor Faubus.
(EXPLAIN)
2.
President Johnson ordered Federal troops into Detroit, Michigan,
last summer on the request of Governor Romney.
The U. S. Attorney General , Mr. Ramsey Clark, recently issued written
instructions to all Governors on the procedure to follow
"SHOULD A GOVERNOR FIND IT NECESSARY TO REQUEST
THE ASSISTANCE OF FEDERAL TROOPS. "
These are very important things that should be considered and included
in all police training and police planning in the next few
m onths.
Retired United States Brigadier Gene ral William R . Woodward is also
director of Atlanta's Civil Defense.
�- 9 He and General George J. Hearn, the Adjutant General of Georgia have
completed a very fine plan to coordinate the action of the
police and the National Guard if it ever becomes necessary
or desireable for the City of Atlanta to request the assistance
of the National Guard.
The National Guard is already receiving special training to control civil
disorders.
I understand that this training is very special.
Th~ Guard is told that this is not ordinary combat.
In ordinary combat everyone out in front of you is your deadly enemy,
and you shoot everything that moves.
In this kind of combat everyone out in front of you is not your enemy,
in fact, most of them are your friends.
Your only enemy is the snipers and the brick throwers, and when it is
ncessary to use firearms, you must be very careful to
shoot only your enemy.
The Atlanta Police Department continues to st:t engthen and expand its
training program, with special training for our Crime
Prevention Bureau officers and our Task Force and Riot
Squad.
These are very important things that should be considered and included
in all police t raining and police planning in the next few
months.
�- 10 -
In any eme:rgen c.,v th.2 Atlanta Police Department will cancel all leaves and
off days and go on 12 hour shifts, seven days per week.
This act alone will more than double the police personnel available for
street duty.
Police officers would be working 84 hours per week instead of 40 hours
per week.
Every officer below the rank of Capta in would receive time and half for
overtime pay.
This means that the number of officers a s signed to the trouble area
would equal the total number of police personnel in the
department, leaving an equal number of officers to patrol
the other parts of the city not involved in the civil disorder.
(You will find most citizens very much interested in this part of the
program.)
A city ordinance authorizes the Mayor to define the boundaries and
identify the area where civil disorders are occurring or
expected, and to request the assistance of the National Guard
when needed.
The Mayor has full autho rity and r esponsibility to ma ke thi s
determination.
When the Guard arrive s on the s cene , p olice offi ce rs will be assigne d
to accompany the Guard on their mission.
�- 11 -
The police will take into custody and detain all persons that shoµld be
arli"ested.
The police will process and present all prisoners and witnesses to
the courts.
The Guard will deliver all injured persons to the medical center.
Additional action taken by the police
01·
Guard will be subject to orders
issued on the scene by the Adjutant General or his
subordinate officer.
Incidentally the subordinate officer ln this case happens to be a police
lieutenant in the TraJnlng Division of the Atlanta Police
Department.
The hlgh crime r ate - The continued increase in crime - ..
Civil disorders -And poverty, are so closely r elate~ in my opinion, that they cannot be
·s eparated.
I agaiJi wish to remind you that lt w;ts the conclusion of the Atlanta
Com mission on Crime and Juvenile Delinquency , and the
President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Adm\nistration of Justice - that ~rime and poverty were twin~ tlult could not be separat~d, and one
could not be improved without improving the other.

Dear Reverend Biackwood:
I have your letter of December 12th
addressed to the Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
This department began employing
Negro police in 1948 and today 14% of the total personnel are Negro
and they are assigned to all divisions in the department.
All qualified Negroes who have made
application in recent years, have been examined and certified by the
city's personnel department and employed by this department.
The assignment and promotion of all
police personnel is the responsibility of the Chief of Police. I
depend heavily on the advice of other superiors of this department
including other Negro superior officers. We make every effort to
assign every efficer to where the need is the greatest and the
officer can do the best job.
We have a Recruit class of new police
officers who will be in training for five weeks, starting January Ist,
which will include both white and Negro officers. We would be
delighted to have you speak to this class for about 40 to 50 minutes
on race relations if your busy schedule will permit it. Supt. J. L.
Tuggle (a good Presbyterian Elder) is in charge of our training program.
HWill ask him to contact you and schedule your appearance at your
convenience.
Sincerely yours,

THE READER'S DIGEST
December 22,
1967
Dear Mayor Allen:
They're called "New York's Finest," but patrollnen in New
York are paid 50 percent less than carpenters. In Chicago,
electricians earn $1.85 more than the officer on the beat.
Seattle pays cable splicers $375 a month more than patrolmen.
As Mayor, you are of course acutely aware of the deplorable
financial status of most of the nation's policemen. You
know, too, that low pay is just one of a number of problems
-- public apathy and unrealistically restrictive court decisions are others -- facing the cop on the beat. The
lowered morale that results has contributed to police shortages and soaring crime rates.
Now millions of Americans will share your concern and your
knowledge, with publication of a January Reader's Digest
article calling for hi gher salaries and increased public
support for policemen.
We are enclosing an advance copy of "Our Alarming Police
Shortage"; we'd be happy to send you additional copies on
request.
Sincerely yours,
•
