Actually, the Governor of Missouri, Progressive Pimp that he is, has declared an emergency which should allow the shooting of looters and rioters without recourse.
I don't know why everyone on this site hates Jay Nixon. I suppose because he's a Democrat but he's a blue dog. I've transplanted to Kansas now but he's one Democrat I did not mind. In Joplin when we had tornado, he was there in his camo jacket and jeans. (no suit and tie) When the looters were complaining about how they were treated by the police - Nixon said he was going to give the police some leeway in this situation. He's a pro gun guy even if he is a democrat. Fiscally conservative too, he should be a Republican.
Others may know more about his "progressive" ways but from what I've seen, he's not half bad.
