[edit] Connor or Conner?

I have seen both Connor and Conner from various sources - in this article both are used, so that didn't clarify things for me at all. Googling yields more hits for "bull connor" than for "bull conner" (~86500 to ~12000) , and I've never encountered Conner as a name before, so I lean towards Connor. It would be nice if someone could figure out definitively which spelling is correct and change all instances of the name in the article accordingly. 68.56.255.109 04:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• It's "Connor". I corrected the inconsistencies. --Dystopos 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unarmed or peaceful

• "I changed the top part because ALOT of the protest marchers were not unarmed or peaceful." - quoted from edit summary by User:Greentime.

• Without checking the Nunnelly book referenced, or any of the sources I have at home on the 1963 confrontation, I can tell you that the protesters that were engaged by Connor's forces on national television were, in fact, unarmed and nonviolent. The only violence I remember being reported near the park involved a thrown brick and some hand-to-hand tussling that occurred after the fire hoses and dogs were brought into the fray. If anyone has reputable sources claiming otherwise, please speak up and change the wording of this article accordingly. I will continue reverting uncited changes. --Dystopos 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
