Missouri's governor ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Ferguson early Monday after another night of violence following the shooting by police of an unarmed black teen. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk," Gov. Jay Nixon said in a statement. "Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community.”
Now the Gov has ended the curfew? What the heck is he doing?
After his attempt to stop the riots by removing the local PD and their riot gear and replacing them with state police failed the National Guard should have been called in to stop it that night.
“The sound of a squad suddenly chambering a round proved to a useful deterrent”....
My uncle, a St. Paul, Minnesota police LT. once said to me once, “There is NOTHING that will disburse a crowd faster the sound of a shell being jacked into the chamber of a 12 gauge shotgun”. He was 100% correct. The important part is that that “shell” be loaded with buckshot and not some damn bean bags they use today. In the old days, the law MEANT the law and when you broke it you paid the price.
Guess Little Mike found that out didn’t he?
Put out the national guard and instead of having things over at midnight give the locals several more hours to get drunk and loot.
What could go wrote?
Distraction to keep minds off the horrible economy and open borders.
I guess pulling the police force out didn’t work.
If the cop killed an unarmed boy for unjust reasons he should be prosecuted, if he was justified he should at least be suspended to recover from his own trauma.
Either way theses looters and riots, and so called ‘protesters’ have no legitimate reason to tear up that town. The truth will come out and it will be delt with, you don’t there is no justice in committing crimes against other people.
Police sources tell me more than a dozen witnesses have corroborated cop’s version of events in shooting #Ferguson

“They will be “well prepared”, and fully ready, mark my words.”
Hope you are right. Just out of curiosity what do you mean by your comment? Can you expand on it a little? And, if you do have some insight you must know what units are being sent? Care to share that too? Thanks :)
The Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world will never be satisfied, even if whites handed over control of the country and left. They make their living off of whining about racism, so they have no actual reason to see it gone.
