Explain why and how the police became unionized during the 1960s
What will be an ideal response?
By the late 1960s, police officers were frustrated, angry, and fed up with highly publicized and unrelenting criticism by the "reformers.". But they had other complaints, too: poor pay, dictatorial chiefs, urban riots, unrealistic demands to solve the nation's social problems, and U.S. Supreme Court opinions that "handcuffed the police instead of the criminal.". These complaints had one lasting effect—urban police unionization. Regardless of whether their complaints were justified and whether unions were the answer to their complaints, departments in almost all large cities, with the big exception of those in the South, became unionized.
