CNN Host: Why Arent Ferguson Police Using Water Cannons?
by Evan McMurry | 10:01 am, August 19th, 2014 VIDEO 90
Hey, there are no bad ideas in brainstorming:
Talk to us about what police are saying to you. Why they are using this strategy? Why the use of tear gas, stun grenades? Why not perhaps use water cannons?
Thats Rosemary Church suggesting the use of water cannons on African American protestors. If youre wondering why cohost Errol Barnett gives her an are you sure you want to do that look, its probably because of this.

Bull Connor to go, ir you please, mum:
Connor's actions to enforce racial segregation and deny civil rights to Black citizens, especially during the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Birmingham Campaign of 1963, made him an international symbol of racism. Connor directed the use of fire hoses and police attack dogs against peaceful demonstrators, including children.[
