For the benefit of the clowns in DC, especially Holder, this is a tank:
Where's the proof that these are actually patrolling the streets in Ferguson? Put up or shut up Eric Holder.

The Missouri Governor Jay Nixon gave "no heads up" to the White House before deploying The National Guard and has now made another abrupt decision as The National Guard closes in on Ferguson:
*NIXON'S CALL TO HALT CURFEW TONIGHT MADE IN E-MAILED STATEMENT
We presume when there are military tanks rolling through the streets of a town, there is no need for the actual implementation of a curfew... This once again rubs the administration's nose in it as AG Holder's comments from last week hang in the air: "get those damned tanks out of there."
The neighborhood has been under a midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew the past two days, after Nixon declared a state of emergency. That has now changed...
As NBC News reports,
Authorities on Monday lifted the overnight curfew for Ferguson, Missouri, after two nights.
The announcement came from Gov. Jay Nixon, who earlier in the day ordered the National Guard to the St. Louis suburb after a week of clashes between police and protesters over the police shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.
Nixon said that the National Guard would have a limited mission and that overall command would still be the responsibility of the Highway Patrol, which took over security in Ferguson on Thursday.
The National Guard, under the command of Brig. Gen. Gregory Mason, will “provide protection, and ensure the safety of our Unified Command Center, which was the target last night of a coordinated attack,” Nixon said.
Nixon said that law enforcement officers were the target of gunfire on Sunday. The violence also included firebombs, looting and “a coordinated attempt to overrun the unified Command Center,” Nixon said.

Pathetic
Those are depleted uranium rubber bullets!
“Let’s invite Holder to spend a night in that town; without armed security. Think he’ll take us up on it?”
Well he should, after all they are called “Holder’s People,” he will “fit right in!”
“So, the Highway Patrol, which knows absolutely nothing about urban street policing, is in charge, backed up by the Guard, which knows even less.”
Sounds like that old joke about the world being out of order when the British are the Chefs and the French are the Police!
Holder had no problem with tanks at the Waco “compound” when he was Deputy Atty. Gen. under Reno.
“Those are depleted uranium rubber bullets!”
They look like earplugs to me!
An actual implementation of the curfew happened when?
Now, that’s what I’m talking about!
Good one. Just put it on Twitter :)
Eric Holder holds up a staff and says, “Let my people loot!”
Same here. I was just an NG tanker.
Nice one.
Let my people 'prey'...
good point. someone should ask the JD where those agents were about 8:30 last night. And where were the 38 Fibbers? none of them get overtime?
“Let my people go!”
They need Plasma TVs and new Nikes for Chrissake...
All kinds of fun can be had with this.
Ok, so the National Guard and protesters will be in the streets together until the wee hours of the morning.
Nothing will go wrong here...Nixon is an idiot...
