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.

Translation, like GZ, Wilson will walk.
Nah, this is going to fall apart.
Plus also that robbery video is going to go against any conviction.
protestors need to hit the gov mansion and demand his resignation
What a coward.
Why I am figure it is going to fall apart is because of the robbery video.
:-)
I'm thinking that robbery video could help impeach the libtard butt-kisser Nixon as well as exonerate the officer. I am absolutely incensed at this imbecile. He is totally irreponsible. I cannot believe he is the elected head of a state. Is his script being written by the braindead rioters, or what?
This is going to be a repeat of the GZ case. Plus also the robbery video ended any possible case against the cop.
Wrong! Justice is what is needed not mob rule and pandering to thugs. Brown's death has already been resolved. He charged an officer and got blown away. the problem has been resolved. Brown will no longer be a burden on society. It's unfortunate but Brown chose his path.
Guess he got the call from Holder.....
“Translation, like GZ, Wilson will walk.”
I believe if the true facts are allowed to be presented in defense of the officer in St. Louis County Criminal Court and a fair jury is seated, he will be found NG.
Sadly, however, I also believe that if that occurs, Holder will have the officer indicted federally for Civil Rights violation just as the government did in the Rodney King case where the officers were railroaded and found guilty.
This reminds me of Nyfong and the lacrosse team before an election .
What will go against any prosecution is that robbery video. Open and shut case.
it would seem so. would not be the first time a sacrifice was made. hopefully the authors of any such act would feel great remorse in future.
Witness youtube video describing event as described by LEO.
Autopsy indicates shots from front, lethal hits were inflicted as the attacker was falling forward, last two hits were the head shots.
10 - 12 Locals are coming forward with eyewitness accounts that match LEO...
Idiot democrat governor?
"vigorous prosecution must now be pursued."
And they wonder why everything they touch goes to crap.
.
We moved back East after only a few months. Looking back, I'm glad I'm not there now. Of course, I have Cuomo, Schumer, Gillibrand and DiBlahblah to contend with now. I think I'd prefer crawdads.
