Weren’t the Ferguson Police relieved of their protection duties due to alleged over-zealous enforcement? Looks like no one took over.

I thought Governor Nixon (D) put the State Police in charge. It appears he may have instituted a “take what you want cooling off peroid”. The looting will stop when there’s nothing left to loot, the violence will stop when there’s no one left to protect property, then the violence of looter on looter will resume.
Looks like no one took over.....I have read the Missouri HIGHWAY PATROL is now in charge. In case people do not understand, The Highway Patrol is allowed to patrol ONLY Highways (state and federal). They have NO JURISDICTION over town streets, buildings or property. They are NOT State Police, who have jurisdiction anywhere. Where I copped at in Ohio, we had the Highway patrol take control of the state highways and the Sheriff’s department take control of domestics, burglaries and general mayhem while we fought riots or funerals for officers killed in accidents or otherwise. If they aren’t rioting on State Highways, I doubt very much the HIGHWAY PATROL would know what the hell to do any ways.
