FERGUSON, MO (RNN) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon made his boldest statement in the shooting death of an unarmed black man on Tuesday, saying a "vigorous prosecution must now be pursued." MORE Man killed in officer-involved shooting near Ferguson

In the statement, Nixon said,"The democratically elected St. Louis County prosecutor and the Attorney General of the United States, each have a job to do. Their obligation to achieve justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown must be carried out thoroughly, promptly, and correctly; and I call upon them to meet those expectations."

Nixon said the calming of tensions in Ferguson, MO and the resolution of Brown's death is what's now needed the most.

"So I ask that we continue to stand together as we work to achieve justice for Michael Brown, restore hope and peace to the streets of Ferguson, and march together toward a future of greater opportunity and understanding for all of us,” Nixon said.

He’s either a useful tool, or he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. You know - just like The Won!

Either way, MO loses. And then we all lose.

I’m expecting a LOT of bloodshed before the week is through. And come Monday - The Funeral.

I swear to gawd, if 0bama attends that funeral, after blowing off his ranking GENERAL being killed, there is no turning back for me. I will go nuts.

Just to be on the safe side, I’ll be in my bunker cleaning my guns and packing shells. Life Is Good. ;)

Would the governor like it if those who were angered by his comments showed up and trashed the governor’s mansion? I doubt it. But that is where he’s at, he’s put it all at the level of mob violence, and is fanning the flames.

What clause in the Constitution refers to “achieving justice”?

"MO Gov. Nixon: 'Vigorous prosecution' needed after death of Michael Brown"
Will88:" The Honorable Guv sort of skipped the investigation stage.
And no mention of any need for a defense of the potential accused.

Frist let's have the hanging !
The verdict and investigation can come later.
Let's appease the looters and rioters so life can return to normal, quickly.
Thank you Gov. ,.. you idiot !

This is the most irresponsible comment from a sitting governor that I’ve heard in many, many years.

BTW, this demoncrat filth is right ... vigorous prosecutions are needed.

Lots of rioters and looters in jail that need to be vigorously prosecuted.

"Why is he talking prosecution when there’s been no charges filed as of yet?

He seems pretty sure that the fix is in for the Grand Jury to indict Wilson before it even meets.

It is unbelievable. He has just given any potential defense attorney (for Wilson) sufficient grounds for a claim that the governor has irredeemably tainted the jury pool.

” So I ask that we continue to stand together as we work to achieve justice for Michael Brown, restore hope and peace to the streets of Ferguson, and march together toward a future of greater opportunity and understanding for all of us,” Nixon said.”

No justice for the officer! Not even the benefit of the doubt.
