Yes, Steinbeck wasn't unrealistic in his portrayal of the way that police often served the wealthy. On Memorial Day in 1937, the Chicago police killed 10 people and injured more than a hundred more during a demonstration by strikers and their families in the Republic Steel strike (William Manchester "The Glory and the Dream").
