FoxNews.com ^ | 8-20-2014 | FoxNews.com

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon drew criticism from his own Lt. Governor Tuesday when he said "a vigorous prosecution must now be pursued" in the shooting death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by white police Officer Darren Wilson in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

******

"We have a responsibility," Nixon said, "to come together, and do everything we can to achieve justice for [Brown's] family." Nixon added that McCulloch and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had an obligation "to achieve justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown must be carried out thoroughly, promptly, and correctly."

Nixon’s term runs out in 2016 (maybe Jan ‘17) but he is term-limited in any case. However, the Republicans have been making impeachment noises over several issues prior to this. He has had several vetoes overridden which is very rare in this state, so he may have to watch himself.

This is an excerpt from Paul McGuire’s Website. . .a few years ago this information would be bordering madness. . .it isn’t now. http://www.paulmcguire.com/are_you_ready.htm

Are You Ready for the One World Government?
A global government predicted in Revelation is about to rise. This global government, such as the United Nations, would have its own law and government to replace the U.S. Constitution and government.
Are mass food riots, social unrest and chaos being used to create a new world order?
How are the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations and Illuminati involved in this global government?
Is it true that a United Nations military force is secretly based inside of America?
What about the reports of Russian, Chinese and foreign military troops stationed in the U.S.?
Have members of the National Guard and police picked up radio signals from foreign troops that use new radio frequencies that are technically banned from U.S. troops, police and the National Guard?

The Royal Society in England meets to discuss “Weather Control” technology. A special research report prepared for the Army in “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025” was discussed. Are Weather Weapons already being deployed?

There are numerous technologies that can produce Mass Brainwashing. Is it true that advertisers and government can read your brainwaves when you are watching television?

John Dewey is the father of modern education and social engineering through the school system. Is the real purpose of education to educate or indoctrinate?
How close are we to the prophecy of Ezekiel 38, which involves Israel, the Middle East and World War III?
Was there really a plan to destroy nationalism and patriotism through mass immigration policies that started 50 years ago?
Are environmentalism and climate control wealth redistribution mechanisms?
Have the elite really made public statements that their end game is to turn America into a totalitarian Marxist State like China?
Are there laboratories around the world in which transhumanism and the interbreeding of animal, human and Nephilim DNA are being used to create cyborgs for warfare?
Is there an attempt to censor the science of Earthquake forecasting? What does the science of Earthquake forecasting say about Japan, New Madrid and California?
Do the elite plan to destroy over 7.5 billion lives through population control, eugenics, vaccines, food, weakening the immune system, wars, genocide and sterilization? If so, why?
Every move, action and thought you make can be monitored through new technology. Are you ready?

Impeach Governor Nixon for breach of his constitutional duties to respect and defend the Bill of Rights of the police officer.

I am wondering whether, should the police officer be convicted, whether the governor’s over-the-top comments could be used in an appeal? To the effect that the entire state of MO was one, huge, tainted jury pool. ??

I think the idiot Nixon misspoke-he meant to say persecution not prosecution. The guv should just drive up in one of his MRAPS, grab Wilson, and throw him to the animals in the streets of Ferguson. Then they would have their justice. Fact is they got their justice already. Live by the sword, die by the sword. People of MO wake up- don’t tolerate this racist idiot as your governor.

There is no way there is going to be a fair trial.

You have fl civil lawyers carpet bagging over to Mo to have a payday.

You have the entire effete NYC media begging for blood and riots for their video footage.

There could be 100 angel witnesses, and 1000 videos from all angles and satellite recordings with full audio and STILL they want an arrest FIRST.

Arrest and let the judge sort it out is just guilty until proven innocent. This is what the carpet bagging lawyers want. They want the OPTIC of guilt.

This is not about justice, this is about the rule of mob.

For presidential elections a state’s electoral votes should be awarded based on one county one vote.

The out of towners inflamed the mob and now ferguson’s main street destroyed and many of those business will not return.

(those with insurance will leave, others simply have no money and do not want “loans” to enslave them to the location)

An Open Letter to Captain Ronald S. Johnson

Chief Ed Delmore |

I have to call you out.

I don’t care what the media says. I expect them to get it wrong and they often do. But I expect you as a veteran law enforcement commander—talking about law enforcement—to get it right.

Unfortunately, you blew it. After days of rioting and looting, last Thursday you were given command of all law enforcement operations in Ferguson by Governor Jay Nixon. St. Louis County PD was out, you were in. You played to the cameras, walked with the protestors and promised a kinder, gentler response. You were a media darling. And Thursday night things were better, much better.

But Friday, under significant pressure to do so, the Ferguson Police released the name of the officer involved in the shooting of Michael Brown. At the same time the Ferguson Police Chief released a video showing Brown committing a strong-arm robbery just 10 minutes before he was confronted by Officer Darren Wilson.

Many don’t like the timing of the release of the video. I don’t like that timing either. It should have been released sooner. It should have been released the moment FPD realized that Brown was the suspect.

Captain Johnson, your words during the day on Friday helped to fuel the anger that was still churning just below the surface. St. Louis County Police were told to remain uninvolved and that night the rioting and looting began again. For much too long it went on mostly unchecked. Retired St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch tweeted that your “hug-a-looter” policy had failed.

Boy did it.

And your words contributed to what happened Friday night and on into the wee hours of Saturday. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, you said the following regarding the release of the video: “There was no need to release it,” Johnson said calling the reported theft and the killing entirely different events.

Well Captain, this veteran police officer feels the need to respond. What you said is, in common police vernacular—bullshit. The fact that Brown knew he had just committed a robbery before he was stopped by Officer Wilson speaks to Brown’s mindset. And Captain, the mindset of a person being stopped by a police officer means everything, and you know it.

Let’s consider a few examples:
On February 15, 1978 Pensacola Police Officer David Lee conducted a vehicle check. He didn’t know what the sole occupant of the vehicle had recently done, but the occupant did. Who was he? Serial killer Ted Bundy. Bundy attempted to disarm Lee. Lee was able to retain his firearm and eventually took Bundy into custody.

On April 19, 1995 Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hangar stopped a vehicle for minor traffic violations. He didn’t know that 90 minutes earlier the traffic violator, Timothy McVeigh, killed 168 people with a truck bomb at the Murrah Federal Building. But McVeigh sure knew it, didn’t he? Fortunately, given his training and experience Hangar was able to take McVeigh into custody for carrying a concealed firearm. It was days later before it was determined that McVeigh was responsible for the bombing.

On May 31, 2003 then-rookie North Carolina police officer, Jeff Postell, arrested a man digging in a trash bin on a grocery store parking lot—an infraction that would rise to about the level of jaywalking. Postell didn’t know that he had just captured Eric Rudolph, the man whom years earlier had killed and injured numerous people with bombs and was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.

So now, let’s consider Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson’s stop of Michael Brown. Apparently Wilson didn’t know that Brown had just committed a strong-arm robbery. But Brown did! And that Captain, is huge.

Allegedly, Brown pushed Wilson and attempted to take Wilson’s gun. We’re also being told that Officer Wilson has facial injuries suffered during the attempt by Brown to disarm him. Let’s assume for a moment those alleged acts by Brown actually occurred. Would Brown have responded violently to an officer confronting him about jaywalking? Maybe, but probably not.

Is it more likely that he would attack an officer believing that he was about to be taken into custody for a felony strong-arm robbery? Absolutely.

Officer Wilson survived the encounter with Brown as did Lee, Hangar, and Postell. Michael Brown didn’t survive and it’s too soon to say if Officer Wilson’s use of deadly force was justified and legal. You and I both know that not all officers survive such confrontations. Officers die in incidents like this Captain Johnson, including a couple that I remember from your own organization:

On April 15, 1985 Missouri Trooper Jimmie Linegar was shot and killed by a white supremacist he and his partner stopped at a checkpoint; neither Trooper Linegar nor his partner were aware that the man they had stopped had just been indicted by a federal grand jury for involvement in a neo-Nazi group accused of murder. The suspect immediately exited the vehicle and opened fire on him with an automatic weapon.

Just a month before, Missouri Trooper James M. Froemsdorf was shot and killed—with his own gun—after making a traffic stop. When the Trooper made that stop he didn’t know that the driver was wanted on four warrants out of Texas—But again the suspect knew it.

So Captain Johnson, I guess the mindset and recently committed crimes of the suspects that murdered those Missouri Troopers didn’t mean anything. The stops by the Troopers, as you have said, are entirely different events right?

Bullshit.

A vigorous prosecution must now be pursued on those who incited the riots such as the Governor, Holder, Jesse, Al, and most especially hussein.
