CNN suggests police use water cannons against Ferguson protesters

CNN Host: Why Aren’t 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?”


That’s Rosemary Church suggesting the use of water cannons on African American protestors. If you’re wondering why cohost Errol Barnett gives her an “are you sure you want to do that” look, it’s 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.[

Somebody obviously told them that the "optics" (as these assholes say) were, um, not good.
