That is not the explanation that I heard, and it does not match the description of their bellicose behavior at the polling places.
If there was some type of legitimate threat of "police harassment", then they were within their rights to do that. If that was the case, they would not have been staring down white voters trying to vote there, as was reported.
What type of harassment were they concerned with? And what are the sources of their "concerns"?

This is the way the incident was reported on Wikipedia...
Telling white voters "you're about to be ruled by the black man, cracker..." doesn't sound like they were there to prevent any police issues.
The police were not even aware of an incident until about two or more hours into it... That certainly doesn't sound like police harassment to me.

Your information is wrong, Peacenik, as are your assumptions.
If several white guys, dressed in fatigues, heavily armed, stood outside a predominately white district polling place, telling black voters trying to vote there that they were gonna get sent back to the plantation, do you think anything would have happened to those guys?
SHOULD anything happen to them? By the way, that's a rhetorical question....

When a society arms itself and an accident happens, a gun goes off, and someone drops dead is that good or bad?
If no one was armed, and all accidents like this just cause bruises, what would you rather, bruises or dead people?
If across a whole society more people die from these accidents than die from murder, where are the sane people?
It is like the argument about seat belts in cars. Why have them, I feel safer being able to jump out of the car than be strapped in. But the answer was, you need to be strapped in and protected, that is the safest place. Funny that.
Keep people safe away from guns where guns cannot harm them, then no more accidents. Not rocket science.

Except for that pesky little thing called the US Constitution. We have RIGHTS, God given and government recognized.
You cannot make something idiot-proof..... they just keep coming up with better idiots.
Responsible use and ownership is the only solution.
The last time I checked, more children were killed drowning in 5 gal buckets than by guns...
There are accidents with guns, where people get killed.... but there are exponentially more accidental deaths by automobiles...I'm talking about true accidents... kids getting backed over in their driveway, kids being left in cars... look at the Star Wars star that just died a couple of days ago, he got run over by his own car in the driveway. And driving a car is not even a RIGHT... it's a privilege.
The largest cause of accidental death in America? Doctor caused.... death by doctor.

Ok... if preventing "preventable" deaths is the goal, we should go for the biggest contributors..
Automobile deaths account for a HUGE number of deaths. Studies have shown that if the speed of a vehicle is lowered, the odds of serious injury or death goes WAY down.
So, I propose that we pass laws that require all vehicles to be limited to a maximum speed of 40 mph. Cars driven by anyone under the age of 25 will be limited to 30 mph. The technology is available.
I also propose that every car has to have a jamming device for cell phones. The phones are jammed from use unless the car is in "Park". The technology is available, or can be created fairly easily.
I also propose that every vehicle has an interlock "breathalyzer" that will prevent the car from starting if the breathalyzer is not satisfied. Technology is available, and in use for DWI offenders.
Would you vote for that? Think of all the lives that would be saved... senseless deaths of teenagers and children. The number of lives saved would DWARF the number of lives saved by waving a magic wand and eliminating all guns.
Do you truly wish to save as many lives as possible, or do you simply want to get rid of our guns?
