Governor Jay Nixon finally explained why he did not send the National Guard to Ferguson, Missouri. We Didnt want a Kent State situation.
On early Tuesday morning, November 25, 2014, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told FOX 2 anchors that he had repeatedly requested the National Guard
But his requests were ignored.
I know Ive been on the phone in contact with the County Executives Office. I know he has requested. I am requesting. Ive requested the National Guard troops to come out from their command post to help restore order along the business district. We have not seen that
Those calls have gone unheeded at this point
We need to have the governor step up and give us the resources that hes promised from the beginning. He said he would have a strong response. The resources necessary would be provided. They have not been provided so far.

What a lowlife.
It just goes to show the lack of trust and disdain liberal politicians have for our Military.
If 1500 armed National Guardsmen had shown up, perhaps all the mayhem would not have happened.

They could have stayed home and been with their own families, protecting them................

Resign, recall, or impeach, whichever is quickest.

Pretty good excuse, sort of ... but, then again it took “his team” two weeks to come up with it.

And would the Guard troops have been issued any ammunition?

Looks to me that a “Kent State” might have been just the thing to keep that city in one piece minus a few Street Rats.

I wonder if there is any liability here or if the Governor and the state are protected by sovereign immunity?

Governor Nixon Explains Why National Guard Was Not Sent to #Ferguson: We Didnt Want a Kent StateNixon doesn't trust his own national guard to perform appropriately?
Sounds like Mayor Wilhelm in NYC who doesn't trust his local cops not to hurt his son.
Unbelievable Democrat paranoia.
