Even aside from the obvious racism of the time and place (and the fact that many persons in authority were involved in the KKK), this is just what one ought to expect of "the authorities." For, almost always, "the authorities" have a bureaucratic mindset ... they're not concerned with justice, which is their duty to see to, but with procedure and management, with the form rather than substance of justice and lawfulness.
"The authorities" will almost always go out of their way to make life more difficult for the victims and targets of thuggery, while ignoring (or even praising) the thugs themselves. We see this in the school yard; we see this the "criminal justice system;" we see this on the international stage.
