Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who yesterday said he was thunderstruck to learn how militarized police in Ferguson had become, signed off as recently as January on statewide participation in a Pentagon program providing local police departments with surplus equipment.
In authorizing Ferguson police and other local law enforcement agencies to apply for firearms and other equipment, Nixon also directed his administration to conduct management and oversight of the program, documents show.

Pretty Boy is a lyin’ hypocritical b******
he was for it before he was against it just like John Kerry.
Nixon: I signed what?

Ferguson ia all bogus.
Posturing on all sides, using local residents as pawns.
If it wasnt for their double-standard, Liberals would have no standards at all
Well, the attack on the police based on the shooting officer’s actions didn’t work. I guess this is the only alternative still left viable at this time.
In a riot situation, were the arms the police had, the cause of trouble, or was the massive misinformation foisted off on the public the reason.
Here we are focusing on the police once again, when members of the public, the press, and various outside interests demand just that. Another words, we’re doing the work of our enemies right now.
We are attacking the police, just like the NAACP, the race baiters, the president, the Justice Department, the Governor, the State Police (in effect, belittling the local police in the process), and others want us to.
The militarizing of police is an important issue. It isn’t at the moment.
The first job right now is restoring peace. The second job is undoing all the damage by the media and the race baiters.
When this has settled down, we can take on what was a non-issue here.
None of the supposed military weaponry was used. The supposed 50 caliber weapons were not fired. I’m not ever sure that’s what they were.
Those police deserve some support right now. They are the ones that will bring this back under control. None of the outside influences will.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
He meant for the military equipment to be used against right wingers and TEA Partiers, not loyal DemocRats.
He’s so worried about it he called in the National Guard.
Yes, this is the same governor who mocked the suggestion that his administration was sharing MO concealed carry permit holder data with the IRS. He called it a crazy conspiracy theory. Except the person he appointed director of Revenue and the man he appointed to head the Highway Patrol admitted that they were sending that data.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The cops are gonna need the equipment. That was obvious in the bequest.
Gov. Nixon is reaping the bounty of liberal insanity, coming soon on a national scale.
COULD IT BE??? .... the recent concern about Police having Military equipment ... IS it ... perhaps these idiots have just realized the local Police could be opposition to the HOMELAND SECURITY???
WE ARE IN FOR A WORLD OF HURT!
God preserve THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and our form of government, according to the Constitution!
