How would that affect the city and its population? How would MLK's reputation have changed?<BR/><BR/><BR/> If the police force would’ve decided to make that unwise decision. Shoot or kill some of the young protesters I’m sure their would’ve been consequences. You have young children, and kids that were trying to make a difference in this cruel world. The fact that you would try and hurt, or harm them in any kind of way is just absurd. This would’ve effected the city greatly. I think the president would’ve got more involved with the protest. Either shutting it down in fear that no one else would get hurt. Or, giving it full support in hopes that one day segregation would end. <BR/> Martin L. King's reputation would made a turn for the worst. Unfortunately i think people would’ve started blaming him for their children’s death instead of the police. This would’ve been just and unfortunate scenario. All the kids were trying to was stand up for what was right.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Imani R. <BR/>#5 Hr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
