FERGUSON, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Monday dropped the curfew that had been in effect for two nights in an ill-fated effort to curb the violence and chaos that have ripped this city.
Nixon announced that the National Guard would assume "limited responsibilities" to help keep order during nighttime protests over the shooting death of a teenager by a police officer.
"With these additional resources in place, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and local law enforcement will continue to respond appropriately to incidents of lawlessness and violence, and protect the civil rights of all peaceful citizens to make their voices heard," Nixon said in a written statement. "We will not use a curfew tonight."

Shouldn’t Congress have the Sergeant at Arms arrest him there? After the perp is in contempt of Congress.
“...and protect the civil rights of all peaceful citizens to
...have their homes and businesses burned to the ground by roving gangs of dumb, lawless thugs looking for trouble.”
Will he be passing out free cars, like Oprah?
Mixed messages....Nixon is sounding more idiotic by the hour.
Why can’t they block off the area and remove anyone who doesn’t live or work there? Residents could decide individually whether to stay or leave.
Just heard the Lt. Governor on the Dana Loesh radio show say that Nixon called his office for the first time in 6 years wanting to set up a conference call with all of the elected state officeholders
Attorney General = Kerosene + Match.
Curfew? What curfew?
It was a midnite to 5:00 AM curfew. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
A curfew should be dusk to dawn. That is the only option.
“..have their homes and businesses burned to the ground by roving gangs of dumb, lawless thugs looking for trouble.”
Ain’t that a fact. Time for governors to read the the riot act to the commie agitators and arrest the “Just-Us” brothers for inciting riots. Time also to arrest the racist Holder for incitement. Float about 20 or so arrest warrants across America for the fascist Holder. That act freezes the Holder pig to movement only within DC.
Get Whitey Holder is the last raciss ya want there.
Damn! I wanted to see the crusade for social justice spread to, say, Houston.
.........would be more fun for that snake Holder to visit Maricopa County and have Sheriff Joe personally slap the cuffs on him and then put him in the pink uniform on the chain gang!
“Curfew dropped in Ferguson; attorney general to visit”
Really, which store is he planning on looting ?
Gee, if I wanted that I'd move to the Middle East.
No. One letter off.
free oars.
The 'ship of State' don't row itself.
he was shot in the back
he was running away
the police used too much force
the rioting has ended
the state police will ensure the peace and order
a curfew will help to bring peace
the curfew will be lifted to bring peace
the national guard will bring peace
Erik Holder will bring peace
Yes-they will confiscate phones and cameras of anyone recording the misdeeds of all them "peaceful protesters" and ensure that those doing the damage aren't victimized by their victims...
