I know it was quite daring when LBJ used the race riots in Alabama to issue an executive order expanding the powers of the FBI to directly supersede all local and state police law enforcment authority across the Union.

Especially since it massively expanded the scope and power of the federal government while simultaneously wiping out all local and state police power.

But what if he didn't? How would the current crime rate and incarceration rate we see in the US be different?
