During the Children's Crusade in Birmingham in May of 1963, The Police used fire hoses on protesters.
Explanation:
Bull Connor who was commissioner at that time, directed the local police men to forcefully halt the demonstration. Hundreds of protesters were arrested but more of the Children continued to demonstrate the next day. This made the local police to use fire hoses on the protesters.
Their were images of children blasted by the fire hoses as well as those attacked by police dogs on televisions and newspapers which sparked outrage all over the world. But this did not deter the children from the demonstration which is called 'The Children's Crusade.
