As written by Professor Gary Potter (2013) of Eastern Kentucky University, by the late nineteenth century, all major American cities had a police force.
It’s true that centralized municipal police departments in America began to form in the early nineteenth century ( Potter, 2013), beginning in Boston and subsequently established in New York City Albany, New York Chicago Philadelphia Newark, New Jersey and Baltimore. The more commonly known history-the one most college students will hear about in an Introduction to Criminal Justice course-is that American policing can trace its roots back to English policing.
How did we get here? There are two narratives of how U.S. The protests, and mistrust, continue to this day (see, for example, the 2016 documentary Stay Woke: The Black Lives Matter Movement). African Americans took to the street to say, “enough is enough.” Yet, tenuous police/Black community relations arguably haven’t improved that much during the past 50 years. Centuries of suppressed anger-over systemic racism, housing discrimination, Black/white income disparities, poverty, police harassment-finally boiled over in 1965 in Watts, a Black neighborhood in Los Angeles. Perhaps it was the possibility that ending discrimination against African Americans might be possible that caused frustration that was previously tamped down to finally became unbearable. Building on this, the Voting Rights Act targeted legal barriers that states and municipalities had erected (e.g., poll taxes, literacy tests) to prevent African American men from voting in the wake of the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. The Civil Rights Act banned segregation in public spaces, as well as employment discrimination based on race, gender, national origin, or religion. The Watts Riots occurred in August 1965, days after the Voting Rights Act was signed, months after the Selma-to-Montgomery Civil Rights march occurred, and a year after the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Before the 1992 Los Angeles riots came the 1965 Watts Riots (also in Los Angeles) after an African American driver and his stepbrother were pulled over by the police.
