......................"A visibly angry [Missouri State Police Capt. Ron ] Johnson said that officers had come under heavy gunfire from protesters and at least two people had been shot. Johnson said he did not know the condition of the shooting victims. Four officers had been injured when they were struck by rocks or bottles, though Johnson claimed that police had not fired a single shot.
Citing what he called a "dangerous dynamic in the night," Johnson requested that protests take place during the daylight hours, so that officers could effectively isolate any troublemakers. However, Johnson said that his forces could not make protesters leave the streets after sunset if they did not want to.
"This nation is watching each and every one of us," said Johnson. "I am not going to let the criminals that have come here from across this country, or live in this neighborhood, define this community." Johnson added that some of those who had been arrested overnight had come from as far afield as New York and California. The trooper also directed his wrath at the assembled media, saying that they had put themselves and officers in danger by failing to clear areas when asked before imploring them to "not glamorize the acts of criminals.".................

but wait, he’s black with a black son with saggy pants, so it’s okay now...
Looks like Ron is getting a taste of reality - maybe at the end of the day, when he checks in on his son, he will realize that he doesn’t want him to be like those he has been defending until this latest epiphany.
Ron is finding out content of character trumps color of skin.
Ron, Ron, Ron.....the RIOTERS KNOW you won’t let your guys SHOOT them, so they have FREE REIGN!!! IDIOT!
Yes, Ron was PROUD to announce to the world that his tennage son has TATTOOS and pants hanging off his butt....WOW RON...... Destined for GREATMESS I’m sure!! OOPS, I wrote GREATMESS instead of GREATNESS, but I think the first one is TRUE!!
How about all of them?
It just a black thing......pure and simple racist opportunism.
The white involvement is as onlookers to the rampage
Looks like he has given up on his Kumbaya strategy of ignoring the thuggery and treating them as brothers.

I couldn't agree more.
To have an EFFECTIVE curfew would require the use of force. I can’t see a democrat authorizing the use of force, unless of course it was against Tea Party members praying or some other peaceful activity.
Oh so, Captain Johnson is now surprised and angry that his hug a thug campaign failed miserably...
What a putz.
FWIW, the LE enforcement community here are really ticked at this guy and want nothing to do with his nonsense.
“Criminals”?
Come on, Mr Johnson...
You have to “understand their rage”.
You want to put an end to the rioting and protesting? Get rid of all the media.......
Just like all those pre staged "candle light vigils", they're just an opportunity to get some "face time" on television.........
Hope and Change policing only works with civilized people I suppose.
Capt. Johnson is as dumb as a box of rocks. With his little black power salute and marching with the thugs and thugettes and all, he thought he was joining a civil rights movement. What a dumbass.
How’re those ass showing pants working for you now Capt. Johnson?
He is expecting these leftists to PLAY BY THE RULES?
I think we need to send him Rules for Radicals.
He will learn that he expects to play by the rules, and expects the enemy to play by them too. And he will be blindsided.
On the lighter brighter side didn’t two MSNBC reporters get hit by rocks too? (OK,OK I don’t believe it’s OK to throw rocks at reporters) - but IF rocks were thrown it’s better they hit MSNBC reporters than FOX reporters, right?
Funny how people of every race but whites understands what is going on in this country. When push comes to shove, it is all about race.
Poor Ron. The brothers just ain’t cooperatin. :-)
