What we call differentiation is not a recipe for teaching. It is not an instructional strategy. It is not what a teacher does when he or she has time. In the post Civil War era, municipal police departments increasingly turned their attention to strike breaking. By the late 1. 9th century union organizing and labor unrest was widespread in the United States. New York City had 5,0. Chicago had 1,7. 37 strikes, involving over a half a million workers in the same period Barkan 2. Harring 1. 98. 3. Many of the riots which so concerned local economic elites were actually strikes called against specific companies. The use of public employees to serve private economic interests and to use legally ordained force against organizing workers was both cost effective for manufacturing concerns and politically useful, in that it confused the issue of workers rights with the issue of crime Harring 1. Police strike breaking took two distinct forms. The first was the most obvious, the forced dispersal of demonstrating workers, usually through the use of extreme violence Harring 1. The second was more subtle. In order to prevent the organization of workers in the first place, municipal police made staggering numbers of public order arrests. In fact, Harring concludes that 8. Harring 1. 98. 3. In Chicago, according to Harring the police force was viciously anti labor. On a day to day basis it hauled nearly a million workers off to jail between 1. Harring 1. 98. 1. In other cities police made use of ambiguous vagrancy laws, called the Tramp Acts, to arrest both union organized and unemployed workers Harring 1. Anti labor activity also compelled major changes in the organization of police departments. Alarm boxes were set up throughout cities, and respectable citizens, meaning businessmen, were given keys so that they could call out the police force at a moments notice. The patrol wagon system was instituted so that large numbers of people could be arrested and transported all at once. Horseback patrols, particularly effective against strikers and demonstrators, and new, improved, longer nightsticks became standard issue. Three compelling issues faced early American police departments 1 should police be uniformed 2 should they carry firearms and 3 how much force could they use to carry out their duties. The local merchants and businessmen who had pushed the development of municipal policing wanted the police uniformed so that they could be easily identified by persons seeking their assistance and so they would create an obvious police presence on the streets. Some police officers themselves opposed uniforms. They felt that uniforms would subject them to public ridicule and make them too easily identifiable to the majority of citizens who bore the brunt of police power, perhaps making them targets for mob violence. Early police officers began carrying firearms even when this was not department policy despite widespread public fear that this gave the police and the state too much power. Police departments formally armed their officers only after officers had informally armed themselves. The use of force to effect an arrest was as controversial in the 1. Because the police were primarily engaged in enforcing public order laws against gambling and drunkenness, surveilling immigrants and freed slaves, and harassing labor organizers, public opinion favored restrictions on the use of force. But the value of armed, paramilitary presence, authorized to use, indeed deadly force, served the interests of local economic elites who had wanted organized police departments in the first place. The presence of a paramilitary force, occupying the streets, was regarded as essential because such organizations intervened between the propertied elites and propertyless masses who were regarded as politically dangerous as a class Bordua and Reiss 1.

The Pennsylvania State Police were modeled after the Phillipine Constabulary, the occupation force placed in the Philipine Islands following the Spanish American War. This all white, all native, paramilitary force was created specifically to break strikes in the coal fields of Pennsylvania and to control local towns composed predominantly of Catholic, Irish, German and Eastern European immigrants. They were housed in barracks outside the towns so that they would not mingle with or develop friendships with local residents. In addition to strike breaking they frequently engaged in anti immigrant and anti Catholic violence, such as attacking community social events on horseback, under the pretense of enforcing public order laws. Similarly, the Texas Rangers were originally created as a quasi official group of vigilantes and guerillas used to suppress Mexican communities and to drive the Commanche off their lands.
