It seems Jay Nixon, the Democratic Governor of Missouri, doesn’t think too much of that whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing and has decided instead to call for a “vigourous prosecution” of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Not a vigorous investigation, mind you, but a vigorous prosecution. In other words, to hell with the evidence and the mitigating circumstances. Naturally, it doesn’t matter that over a dozen witnesses have corroborated Wilson’s side of the story.

Looks like they tried to Impeach the wrong Nixon.
How's it work in the Show Me state? Can a Red County DA indict the governor for obstructing justice? And book the M'Fo?
Also MIA this time is the word “alleged”.
Normally it would be “who allegedly shot” blah blah blah...

Wilson needs to sue him for slander.
But a governor pronouncing guilt upon a citizen without benefit of a trial (which is exactly what happened) is inexcusable and dangerous.
He is way out of line, and is abusing his office.
Agreed?
Who says the governor has to weigh in at all? Maybe he should just keep his trap shut.
We all know why he did it. To save his own political hide by sacrificing a citizen and putting the cop’s life and liberty in danger.
And no doubt he was pressured to do so by the Obama administration, to keep Americans divided and riled up.
We are living in Orwellian times. Totalitarianism reveals itself more and more with each passing day.
Actually Hannity or somebody tonight had a quote from apparently some Missouri state legislator - black of course - saying just that - if the policeman is not found guilty and sentenced to jail, the riots we’ve seen already will be nothing compared to what will come - this from an elected official - this is truly mass psychosis.....
