Watch the following video, and answer the following questions:
1. Should the KKK be allowed to hold a protest on public property? Is this form of speech protected by the first amendment?
2. For what reason was there such a strong police presence? Was it necessary?
3. Based on what the officers said, particularly the one that was injured, what do you think happened at the last KKK rally in memphis in 1998?
4. Do you think that this situation was handled correctly?
