Missouri's governor ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Ferguson early Monday after another night of violence following the shooting by police of an unarmed black teen. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk," Gov. Jay Nixon said in a statement. "Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community.”

The NG is a waste of time. They are mostly office workers, postmen and women, plumbers, etc , and yet the cops are trained for civil disobedience

To the surprise of nobody CNN keeps bashing the police and the crowd can do nothing wrong.

I watched their coverage last night until around 12:30 and I'll say I was surprised at how they reported the situation. They actually gave facts. Now you could tell the anchorette was a bit disappointed by the autopsy. They were also reporting shots came from the crowd first....and that's huge.

exactly
this is all about getting their base out to vote as they have nothing else to run on for the elections while diverting attention from open borders, Iraq, Syria, Russia and a whole host of problems this administration has caused or ignored.

You do know that M16’s are not “machine guns”, right?

They were also reporting shots came from the crowd first....and that's huge.

But in later reports all night CNN had people refuting that.

This midterms, the Dem voters will stay home in droves.

That doesn't preclude someone voting for them, or absentee ballots being manufactured.

I predict that a number of the midterms are going to be monitored BIGTIME.

[Biggirl]

....Or so CNN claims.

[Jack Hydrazine]

School starts today. Will the national guard be roaming throughout the hallways?

[Jack Hydrazine]

What is that referencing?

[tacticalogic]

I predict that a number of the midterms are going to be monitored BIGTIME.

And I'll wager the DOJ is going to be the ones doing it.

The author got it wrong. The dead man had two arms and was thus armed. He was strong armed, that is, his arms were his arms used to strong arm.

He was shot for assaulting with the strong arms.

Do they have live ammo? Or even rubber bullets?

Too bad it’s always the Republicans who are stuck cleaning up all the messes.

That's true in economic matters, or at least it used to be, when the GOP was less profligate.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Who’s paying for all this overtime?

[Bigg Red]

Accurate call, I am sure.

:: Yea, imagine what happens if one of them fire. ::

I suppose Neil Young will write a song that includes the line:
“Four dead in Ferguson.”

Lord, spare and save us from the hippie generation!

Only if they are full auto!
