Gov. Jay Nixon of Missouri said on Tuesday that he would triple the number of National Guard troops in this suburban St. Louis city and broadly expand their role in keeping the peace, after a night of arson, looting and rampaging demonstrators showed that weeks of preparation for a grand jury decision in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown had failed to prevent violence.
In Washington, St. Louis and Ferguson itself, an array of public officials, community leaders and clergy were deeply critical of one another as they sought to explain how protests over the grand jury’s decision not to indict the white police officer in the shooting had spun further out of control than the unrest that followed the death in August of Mr. Brown, who was black.

One of the streets, West Florissant Avenue, a main thoroughfare not far from where the shooting took place, was still smoky on Tuesday and cordoned off by police.
Officials had been unwilling to provide details about the number of troops when Mr. Nixon first called up the Missouri National Guard last week in advance of the grand jury announcement

Missouri Gov Nixon is a “tool” of the RAT machine. He is a joke. What the hell can the National Guard do if he ordered them??? Looters and those involved in violence against businesses and civilians should be SHOT on sight. Anything short proves what a p**sy this clown is. He’s an Obama hack. The Great OZ has spoken.
Would the police allow Tea Party demonstrators to do with, without permits? NO. Who’s discriminated against, REALLY..
I don’t doubt it one bit. Lots of people think it, too.
i think if anything, the urban feral black community has proven to the world just how invaluble and essential dedicated and present responsible fathers are to raising children. and how important two parent husband/wife families are in general.
That means the state has to pay all the expenses for the National Guard. You people living in those small towns in Missouri, be sure to thank your fellow citizens in Ferguson for using your tax money to pay for their childishness.
Western Civilization vs. the displaced negro. I rest my case.
The whole place is not that big.
Give Rev Al a MOAB an a bic lighter.
You go Al!
Yeah, but that's normal for the Canfield Apartment Complex. There were reports of shots fired BEFORE and AFTER the incident between Officer Wilson and Mike Brown.
Black Fridays,...MEME....to be seen on hundreds of sweatshirts will be....”Where Jesse At”.
Where is Jesse at?
Just trying the scanner app out now on the iPhone. Missouri State Police Troop C is coming in like it does on a regular scanner- and I’m in Virginia. For a free app, I’m knocked out so far. Little bit of visual advertising, easily skipped if desired. It isn’t enough to be burdensome. App appears to cover pretty much...everywhere.
hes looking for a way to make somebody pay CASH
“According to a Twitter user, Jesse Jackson was booed after he attempted to pass around a donations plate while speaking at a rally in Ferguson...”...

Oh wait, can’t take a risk on that pandering political career
So just let it burn, Jay. Besides, it wasn’t your properties and businesses anyway
whats 3 times 0?
Ferguson = "Stand down!"
They have proven that assimilation is wishful thinking, and that we’ve regressed over the last 6 years. Thankfully the younger generation (of all races) can see the truth unmasked after years of touchy-feely propaganda; after 50 years, nothing has improved.
Congress should investigate and put Gov. Nixon on the stand, under Oath (even though ‘Oath’ means nothing to Democrats).
That’s what we were saying last night...
The court house and cop shop seemed to be the only places fully protected...
