FERGUSON, MO (RNN) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon made his boldest statement in the shooting death of an unarmed black man on Tuesday, saying a "vigorous prosecution must now be pursued." MORE Man killed in officer-involved shooting near Ferguson
In the statement, Nixon said,"The democratically elected St. Louis County prosecutor and the Attorney General of the United States, each have a job to do. Their obligation to achieve justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown must be carried out thoroughly, promptly, and correctly; and I call upon them to meet those expectations."
Nixon said the calming of tensions in Ferguson, MO and the resolution of Brown's death is what's now needed the most.
"So I ask that we continue to stand together as we work to achieve justice for Michael Brown, restore hope and peace to the streets of Ferguson, and march together toward a future of greater opportunity and understanding for all of us,” Nixon said.

This is like Lord Kitchener and Breaker Morant.
A sham trial and conviction to appease the animals.
It was said on Fox that the governor had had phone conversations with Holder and/or Obama (not postive which), and also that he was Missiouri’s AG for sixteen years (maybe they meant a prosecutor and AG for a combined sixteen years.)
But it sounds like he’s been talking with, maybe even coordinting with the Obama administration. And all those years as a prosecutor or AG don’t seem to have given him any appreciation of evidence gathering and the right to a fair trial, including a vigorous defense.
He wants to lead the lynch mob.
Another white liberal kowtowing to racial political pressure.
Sounds to me like he is afraid of black people, coward.
Sounds to me like he has received his talking points prior to Holders arrival.
“Just to be on the safe side, I’ll be in my bunker cleaning my guns and packing shells. Life Is Good. ;)”
Good for you. I know nothing about guns so I’ll probably just stuff my face with junk food to ease the pain.
I am 81 years old and have NEVER seen the country in such bad condition. The Cold War actually seems like a day at the beach compared to what is going on now.
.
Absolutely, Vigorously prosecute the parents who unleashed this problem into Ferguson.
If only people had stopped voting for Democrats forty years ago what a different country this would be.
The time to lock and load is near...
I’m 54 and I’ve never seen it quite this bad, either.
Keep your Cheetos dry, LOL! :)
Glad we’re waiting for the facts to come in.
Blacks vote Democrat 95% of the time and the Dems owe them what they want.
If Nixon is wrong................will he swing from a rope just to calm the crowd?
I suggest he open his house doors and let the people redistribute his wealth.
If lynchin’ you is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
It was worse in the sixties. This went on in many cities.
Amen
He’s hanging the local cops out to dry and wants to play both sides
What do you suppose TPTB will say when it is discovered that the Brown shooting was a good one?
