In 1958, police captured clergymen arranging a bus boycott. At the point when the FBI started a probe in the midst of charges of police wrongdoing for the captures, Connor reacted that he "hadn't got any apology to the FBI or anybody else", and anticipated, "If the North keeps trying to cram this thing  down our throats, there's going to be bloodshed."

In 1961, Connor postponed sending police to intercede when Freedom Riders were beaten by neighborhood crowds. The police badgering religious leaders and protest organizers by ticketing vehicles left at mass gatherings and entering the gatherings in plainclothes to take notes.  

Connor was so adversarial towards the Civil Rights Movement that his activities galvanized support for black Americans.
