How did King respond when asked, “Why are you speaking about the war, Dr. King?” On what principles and perceptions did he base his opposition to the war?

He claimed that the tactics people in America should use to solve thier problems should not be violent, but they all said the government was being violent so it was okay. Dr. King then realized his fellow Americans were witnessing their government take extremely violent measures to get their way; the government was showing them it would work. So, to prevent Americans from using violence to solve problems, he spoke out against the violent efforts by the government.
