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.

Does this mean the comment “the Tea Party couldn’t demonstrate because they couldn’t get a permit” no longer applies? Yippeeeee!
“...as many sitting around tonite not helping the cops?...”
So what exactly are they doing? Containing the cannibals in their own neighborhood, basically?
One wonders exactly what the NG would do if the morons started trying to get to the white neighborhoods. Are they under orders not to engage?
Was watching a Fox news feed last night; they said over 150 shots were fired at the police - along with being pelted by “D”-cell batteries, rocks, bricks, bottles, etc.
Didn’t see a single one on the first night.
What’s three times zero? I forget.
it is all politics. He didn’t send them in until the next morning AFTER the RIOT. here it is. I’m going to send in the National Guard. Pleases white voters , yeah, get then in there. Then sends them in the next day, appeases black rioters and no consequence to them. Black voters like that. This Nixon is the every day sleazy Democrat, Politician. too little too late is the Obama plan on just about everything.

i think it’s more showing the governor’s ineptness since he controls them.
This Nixon may be the really inept Nixon, but will MO figure it out?
RE Inept Governor:
Well, of course he’s inept - he’s a Democrat; that’s par for the course.
But what exactly is the NG’s job there?
“Ten percent of nothing is, let me do the math here, nothing into nothing, carry the nothin’... “
Someone told me it’s all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it, I do believe it’s true.
If she plays it wrong, the Lt. Gov. (Peter Kinder) will smash her.
They’re there as a show of force... They are not aloud to assist or a combat role..... Thanks to Obama.
Too little, too late.
Gov. Jay Nixon should resign.
I doubt it.
They are basically on an undeclared strike.
You’re gong to criticize us ? Then we will let in burn.
huhm..
“Michael Brown Sr. at a news conference Tuesday...”
Blah! Here’s communication that’s much more interesting -

The White House is deeply involved in this, IMO. This way, 0bama can order all kinds of federal dollars to help the poor and downtrodden
