Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says hes declared a state of emergency and is implementing a curfew in the St. Louis suburb where a black teenager was shot to death by a white police officer a week ago.
Nixon said Saturday that the state will not allow a handful of looters to endanger the community and that there must be calm if justice is to be served. The curfew will run from midnight to 5 a.m.
Tensions in Ferguson flared late Friday after police released the name of the officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown and documents alleging Brown robbed a store before he died.

I may have to set the alarm clock and fire up the popcorn machine tonight.
“Johnson is trying do do his job, calm things down. “
Only Johnson doesn’t know how to do his job. Not ONE time has he said anything about protecting the citizens and their property.
In fact, in response to why they backed down last night, he said he did that based on his evaluation of the safety of the police and the looters.
Duh, what about the innocent and their businesses?????
Instead of being nice and kowtowing to the crowd, someone needs to get a pair and take hold of the city. Nixon’s scared as can be - immediately turned it over to the black guy when people started yelling at him. Boofrickinghoo.
Just put law enforcement on the outskirts of town and let the looters go after it. Keep them all inside and see what is left in the morning.
Now he just said they wont use force to enforce the curfew.
Guess he’ll just hug it out with ‘em, huh? Hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.
“Nixon said Saturday that the state will not allow a handful of looters to endanger the community”
What, the police can’t handle a handful of looters without putting everyone under virtual house arrest?
Well, he might know his job but is is not going to do or say certain things (by his own nature or under orders). This is a crap sandwich long in the making, and the truth is that at this stage of the game, there are very few truly capable - as opposed to cunning - Democrats in public office.
If Missourians thought the Republican team was nothing but second-stringers, Jay Nixon has singlehandedly jumped up off the opposing bench, tripped on his shoelaces and landed right on his face. OTOH, he keeps providing Obama and Holder opportunities to exploit this mess, so from their standpoint, he's more useful idiot than inept bumbler.
Mr. niteowl77
They could have video of it and it wouldn’t matter. They’d just claim the cop called him a N***** and all would be justified.
I’m waiting for that to be the explanation for why he robbed the store.
I wanna know how you Enforce without Force.
This should be good.
Its a small town. There are only 40 hookers.
A commenter on another thread pointed out that our home grown Gazans are too lazy to dig tunnels under the WalMart.
Not only that, but it’s anarchy. The more anarchy, the happier Obama will be.
I know I’m late getting in, but didn’t a Freeper post a picture yesterday of a black cop with the same name? Now the cop is white?? Oh dear.....
Sorry but there are times when you simply have to f u some people to get the message across. So far the loons are running the asylum. This is what that looks like.
The police could handle this, but it’s all one big PC wig-out norm.
In case folk shan’t noticed, they’re trying to spread this to major cities across the nation.
In truth, the knock out phenom is precisely that, hung over from the Zimmerman fiasco. They won’t be happy until white America is looted In total.

That 40 comes from an intra-city reciprocal agreement.
It only applies on holidays...
RACISM AGAIN!/s
Let no crisis go to waste.
Has anyone heard of any protests outside of MO about this?
Yeah, and I keep wondering what its going to take for most of white America to wake up and face that.
Well, I don’t know either. We should be screaming rascism at the top of our lungs based on the enforcement policies of our southern border. White Europeans have to jump through hoop after hoop. For that matter, people all over the world do. But alas the hispanics, they’re king in this age.
