Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says he’s declared a state of emergency and is implementing a curfew in the St. Louis suburb where a black teenager was shot to death by a white police officer a week ago.
Nixon said Saturday that the state will not allow a handful of looters to endanger the community and that there must be calm if justice is to be served. The curfew will run from midnight to 5 a.m.
Tensions in Ferguson flared late Friday after police released the name of the officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown and documents alleging Brown robbed a store before he died. …

It’s time to clamp down on black violence and lawlessness nationwide.
Day late and a dollar short.
You don’t really that’s what they are going to do, do you?
Demonicrat Nixon needs to learn to count beyond his fingers, using his (or others') toes if needed. There were a lot more than just "a handful of looters" endangering the community.of Ferguson.
The only thing missing is a downed Blackhawk and stuck Rangers.
LOL, this is laughable. The Governor press conference is on right now and the loud mouth rabble is literally dictating to the Highway Patrol captain what force they will and will not use.
Now he just said they wont use force to enforce the curfew.
The inmates are literally running the asylum.
The inmates are running the asylum at this press conference right now!
It’s like trying to reason with a room full of 3rd graders. LOL!
Or like that scene in the Holy Grail about how to weigh a witch
what I caught from Johnson speaking just now is the reason for the single tear gas canister last night is because ‘an officer was trapped’ and they used the gas to be able to get the officer out of where ever he was feeling trapped. [Not clear whether this was after the rock/brick throwing or before.]
Did I hear right that 40 FBI agents have been sent to assist in he investigation?
Forty!!!
DemocRats suck.
C’mon, mamma needs a new home stereo.
I’m trying to watch this news conference but the acoustics are so bad I can’t understand what the heck is being said.
He’s a dem this guy, right?
Because if he was a republican his name would already be M.U.D. from coast to coast.
He has really failed to get this situation under control.
So what is really happening is more like "Gov declares emergency, imposes humbly suggests curfew in Ferguson."
Mr. niteowl77
JMHO, but a reasonable curfew on teenagers and younger children makes sense. The other thing that would make sense is shooting looters.
Gost, this crazy world has me really, really fed up with those destroying civilization. And that includes the WH crowd. (didn't Obama come out supporting this "victim" before the facts were known?)
..and that buffoon of a highway patrol captain just told the Nation of Islam guy that he appreciates their help in “keeping peace on the streets of the community”...
