What was the role of the police and govenor in the Montgomery bus boycott?

During the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the police played a role in enforcing segregation laws and maintaining order, often clashing with civil rights activists. Governor George Wallace's administration supported the enforcement of segregation, opposing the boycott and civil rights efforts. The police arrested several leaders of the movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., as tensions escalated between demonstrators and law enforcement. Overall, both the police and the governor aimed to uphold the status quo of racial segregation, which fueled the determination of activists in the boycott.
