Order a thousand body bags and leak it to the press.

Order 10,000 rounds of assault rifle ammunition.  Leak it to the press.

Just let it be known, that if rioting starts again, lethal force will be used.

The governor should let it be known, he won't stand for more of the same.

I'd call up several thousand national guard prior to the verdict annoucement.  I'd stage them and make sure they could be in Ferguson within hours if needed.

I'd also pass some ordinances or legislation that made it crystal clear any outside agitators would have the book thrown at them if they were caught committing crimes.  Special laws should govern situations like this.  A civil unrest / riot situation crime would get you a manditory ten year sentence.

Many years ago (1966) there was a large tornado in Topeka, KS.

The mayor went on tv and said looters would be shot on sight.

There was no looting.

I like the way you think.

The governor is a Democrat. He is more likely to let Ferguson burn. St Louis county will likely also burn.

I thought that the USA had legislation similar to Canada’s (and several other British Commonwealth countries) “Riot Act”. Once the Riot Act is read, a mob has 30 minutes to disperse, on penalty of a long prison term.

Nice. Short of that, either the local citizens take back control or just let it burn......enough of this crap.
