No, it didn't.
It started when MADD gained traction.
Some folks won't like that, but it is the truth.
The jail in my tiny little hometown used to be on the 3rd floor of the Court House. Now, it covers 3 square city blocks and is still growing.
The Court House, where presumably "justice is served" still occupies 1/4 of one city block.
Go figure.
Absolutely it did.
I grew up in Tulsa, and had friends most of the small towns around.
You may not have been aware of it, but it happened a lot.
It was also reported a lot, but sympathies lay with law enforcement.
The only difference between then and now is that the citizens now have cameras to back up their stories.
The people who were loudest back then in condemning citizens who were abused by the men in blue were wrong. But, in condemning the innocent and protecting the guilty in public, not only were they wrong...they were doing a wrong thing that was hurtful to someone who had been wronged.
Many of those people have a vested interest in rewriting the past, because that is the only way they can try to escape from the wrong they did to others, in their ignorance and denial.
