FERGUSON, Mo. (TG) Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has ordered the National Guard to assist with peacekeeping efforts in Ferguson, the troubled St. Louis suburb that has been ravaged by more than a week of violent protests in reaction to the August 9 police shooting of hometown youth Michael Brown. However, in the latest effort to appease protesters, the Guard will be issued special matériel designed to portray a kinder, gentler law enforcement presence.
Folks out there want to exercise their rights and throw bricks, bottles, and maybe fire off the odd round at law enforcement, and they get frustrated when those methods of communication are muted by things like Kevlar, helmets, armored vehicles or, worst of all return fire, said Colonel Les Spine of the 69th infantry brigade non-combat team. Thats where our special outfit and its special outfits come in.
Col. Spines brigade will be limited in apparel to rainbow-colored tee shirts, pocketless Bermuda shorts, and flip flops. As for armaments, brigade members will be limited to super soaker style water guns.

What a joke, the Rat Governor of MO is.
How does this nut case plan on defending businesses from being
looted and burned.
I would normally scream out “THIS IS SATIRE FOLKS”, but these days....
Okay this is sarcasm and not real. It can’t be.
Sorry I meant satire not sarcasm.
Satire, but with the “hug a thug” philosophy in effect over the past week one wouldn’t be surprised.
Why, you don’t think the Mississippi (Miss) national guard would be involved.
It’s not just satire, it’s bad satire.
Seriously????
He’ll get some of those guys killed.
The whole world knows about Ferguson and now they’re going to see our National Guard in tie-dye shirts and flip flops? There is going to be some serious laughing by our enemies.
And why water guns? What’s wrong with slingshots and Nerf balls?
Funny stuff.
Strangely, large breasted women have been targeted by the super soaker toting national guard soldiers.
Kinder, gentler, but didn’t MO vote for its neighbor, Clinton?
Never elect a Democrat to anything!
Flowers! Don’t forget the flowers.
