Answer:

Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett responded to the demonstrations with mass arrests.

Step-by-step explanation:

Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett responded to the demonstrations with mass arrests, but refrained from public brutality and thereby minimized negative publicity. By December 1961 more than 500 protesters were jailed, and negotiations with city officials began.
