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. …

The sooner they tell these idiots that their precious 6’ 4” 250lb little child attacked a cop and got shot because of his own actions, the better.

As they drag this out, it’s gonna get worse.

Then we get another show trial of an innocent man ( Zimmerman ) just to satisfy the stupid

You know what I would tell the restless residents of Ferguson?

Michael Brown didn’t get away with it.

And there it sh*t you can do about it.

Too bad, so sad.

Goodnight.

The “good people” are tearing Johnson a new one. He is now a deer in the headlights.

This situation could go nuclear.

Johnson is trying do do his job, calm things down. The “residents” aren’t buying it. They want to use the rest of the summer to stock up.

Nixon has no credibility. Jerk starts off saying there will be justice. Nice. Guilty until proven innocent.

Just making it a pressure cooker.

My prediction is that we will see shootings tonight. And it will spread.

Look for larger-than-Trayvon protests in large black communities.

Democrats have their voters so riled up, the people are attacking them. I’m imagine they are privately telling them, don’t worry, we’ll get this guy (guilty or not). Democrats are not towing the line.

Exactly!
Not one word about letting the investigation happen before jumping to appointing blame.

So basically guilty until proven innocent

But I thought since they put the “Black” officer in charge since he knows “Urban” everything was fine at least that is what I read yesterday over and over.

Why impose a curfew? Let these fine citizens of the city of Ferguson continue to riot, loot and destroy their community to an utter ruin.

When no business will set foot inside the city limits I want to hear the mournful howl. Stupid morons.

This is all being organized by Obama and Holder. They really need to start race riots nationwide to distract from all the things they are doing and to polarize the blacks to support them.

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.

So… what you're saying is that they're on an observation mission, yes?

Then Obama will send our money in sham renewal programs and pay off his homies along with businesses who are subsidized to locate there until the next bankruptcy.
