Here is the full excerpt for this question:
From "Letter from Birmingham City Jail"
I must close now. But before closing I am impelled to mention one other point in your statement that troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping "order" and "preventing violence." I don't believe you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I don't believe you would so quickly commend the policemen if you would observe their ugly and inhuman treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you would watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you would see them slap and kick old Negro men and young Negro boys; if you will observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I'm sorry that I can't join you in your praise for the police department.
I believe the answer is:
The article praises the police for their treatment of the protesters.
The article conveys how non-violent african american protesters were treated violently both during the protest and during jailtime. by the police near them, which could be seen in this line of the excerpt : if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes
