National Guard Ordered Onto Streets of Ferguson, Missouri
NBC ^

Posted on 08/18/2014 12:17:02 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Missouri's governor ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Ferguson early Monday after another night of violence following the shooting by police of an unarmed black teen. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk," Gov. Jay Nixon said in a statement. "Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community.”

Completely agree!

Maybe have the guard backing up the police. If they are not careful, they are going to get another bro shot and then all hell is going to break loose all over the US.

Or, worse, some completely innocent young guard gal will get shot and killed.( Then EVERYBODY’s pissed not just the brothers!

Next thing you know we’re talking armed to the teeth Marines like happened in LA. And, lots of bodies!

Seeing someone attack a store owner would scare anyone, including me!

The republicans are scared to death. That’s why you don’t hear them saying a word. They should do some pandering with Sharpton. They can’t do anything more to piss off their base than they’ve already done.

Obama and his hope and change was supposed to heal the land

The mob mentality of a certain segment of our society will never act with civility. Given the Sharptons and Jacksons of society, and the engrained self-oppression of a portion of the black community, this crap will happen over and over again.

“The last time I was at a National Guard armory, I didn’t see many teenagers. The demographics of the Guard has changed substantially since Kent State. Remember, most of them have had at least one deployment to Iraq and/or Afghanistan.”

The ones posted in Longmont last year after the major floods here were all children; even the sargents were only very early 20’s. They struck me as fairly naive, uneducated, uncertain, untrained, and slightly fearful as well.

The other thing I realized is that they were NOT local, but were from cities far away. I realized that this was on purpose so that they would be less reluctant to shoot or mistreat the locals, since they would view the locals as villagers who were not the same kind of people at all as their own villagers.

Quite frankly, they scared the beejezus out of me every time I had to go through one of their checkpoints.

Can see calm being restored in this manner. National Guard wears the uniforms, Police plain clothes. National Guard disperses crowd, plain clothes Police (maybe light weight black jacket with Police on back) handle looters. There is a pattern. If was on the ground would take advantage of the pattern.

of course ... patterns do change and would be ready with B, C and D if force to modify tactics. Plan A is always the first failure.

Seems like a good time for the Marxists to cut off the EBT cards.

These “people” are like the Palestinians to Israel. Attack and then blame the Israelis for defending.

I’m hoping these riots spread to every State that has a Senate election in November. The Democrats will be Shiiteing bricks.

The Occupy riots really helps us in 2012, didn't they?

rioting and looting in Ferguson happened before the cops put on the gear

what is going on there is not a reaction to the cops

Now we’ll have 18,19 year old kids with machine guns standing guard over a mob cursing at them, throwing rocks, and the occasional Molotov cocktail.

What are you talking about?

I rather have the military out there playing military than our cops out there playing military...

I don't want the cops to be the military...

“The national guard ARE a military force.... they’re not police.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Either way I knew this was coming because they would not stop rioting. Now thing will be worse

Dead Kennedy’s “Riot”

Rioting, the unbeatable high
Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it’s all gonna blow right now

Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass, scream with a laugh and wallow with the crowds, watch them kicking peoples’ ass

But you get to the place where the real slave drivers live
It’s walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around and play right into their hands
And set your own neighborhood burning to the ground instead

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast

Get your kicks in quick, they’re calling the National Guard
Now could be your only chance to torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in and jump and yelp for joy
Quickly, dive back in the crowd, slip away now, don’t get caught

Let’s loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don’t fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast

The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse now

The raging mob has lost its nerve
There’s more of us but who goes first?
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they’ve won

It’s all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, sends your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands

Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless, tonight it’s a blast
