was told, hut “of equal concern to us is what seems to be the attitude of many Indianapolis officials that such misconduct cannot be documented because the policemen themselves ‘always tell the truth.’ ” No disciplinary or punitive measures .have been taken against Officer Raisor, the letter said. “We question whether the present system of reviewing alleged improprieties of policemen is an adequate one,” the NAACP continued. “However, even as we attempt to determine what might be a better system of review, we inj sist that the present reviewing ] system be used to its maximum - to weed out from the Indianapolis I Police Force ‘bad apples,’ the | presence of which not only spoil ! the barrel, but also endanger the safety of the entire community.” THE MAYOR WAS informed i that the Police Department, or some members of it, have taken upon themselves the added duty of enforcing discrimination and | segregation in the city. “Our organization has had brought to its attention more than one instance in which Indianapolis businessmen who sought to offer their services without regard to race or color were harassed and intimidated by uniformed members of the Indianapolis Police Force,” the. letter disclosed. “Still other instances have been called to our attention in which men and women have been stopped, questioned and sometimes even assaulted because they were—or at least appeared to be—in racially mixed groups.” The NAACP will continue to watch the situation and seek, corrective action, the Mayor was informed, because “unrestrained police brutality is a contagion which spreads from one minority to another until it ultimately causes a breakdown of law enforcement in the entire community.” Meanwhile, a petition was being circulated protesting the “unlaw- j ful and unreasonable conduct” of i Officer Raisor, who was stated to i wear Radge No. 344. THE “THREE CASES within a! year” referred to by the NAACP) were: 1. On Aug. 22, 1959, 62-year-old Howard Shields charged he was severely beaten by Officers Raisor and William Cliburn after he inadvertently backed his car
