I can’t imagine anyone thinking this was going to come off peaceful.
Mayor be a white dude.
This gov is a dem, right? Guess what we’re seeing is part of the “staying on course.”
Watched the interview. Incredible. They are so proud that no shots were fired, no one hurt, all while chosing to watch their own community burn. Even had Obama audacity to say they had and were protecting local businesses while split-screen showed live the depth of their ingnorance and lies.
Unprepared, they opted to watch, maybe belatedly calling for help but offered that even 10K would not have been enough. Interesting that they noted the national guard was left protecting the police station even while apparently the business or firestation next door burned.
From Obama, Holder, Nixon, on down to these two keystone cops, this is another epic disaster for Obama.
Let’s see how he spins this tomorrow and over the coming days.
Benghazi redux???????
Who told Nixon not to send the Natl Guard? Holder? Obama?
It’s certainly and argument for state militias to be reinstated.
I wonder if maybe 0bama Federalized the Mo. N.G. and ordered them to stand down, like he did at the Benghazi debacle.
Over on DU they’ve been complaining that “they’ve been preparing for riots, so they are getting them”. They are crying and raving mad that I guess they think this cop should have let himself get killed by this kid, and that preparing for riots must have been what caused them. They just looked way too scary in the street there, and they really think the cops provoked. I really tried, but I cannot follow the logic at all. They are just totally ignoring that the physical evidence shows the kid tried to grab the cops gun, and that is ALWAYS met with deadly force. It’s like they are half brain dead. Nothing is going in. They don’t hear. They don’t hear, they kid was attacking people, he attacked a cop, he charged him, he tried to get his gun, there was blood all over the gun. How do you get beyond that level of stupidity?
By the way, my local newspaper poll is running about 71% the grand jury decision is correct, so they really ARE out of the loop. As for NYC, well they elected a communist last year and don’t even think you should be allowed to drink a large soda, so I their logic is highly suspect.
They are also complaining that nobody else seems to understand them, so they are staying off social media, none of their “conservative friends or even liberal ones” on FB understand them tonight. I guess they aren’t getting they are in a very, very small grouping of people who CANT BE convinced, against all evidence, THE MAN TRIED TO STEAL A COP’s GUN and you GET SHOT FOR THAT. And it has NOTHING to do with color, I would expect that to happen to a white kid too.
Frankly, if I was a Ferguson cop, I would quit. I would let the looters and rioters burn the town, and the people would just have to deal. Because if I was ever threatened, the odds that I would be given a choice of being emotionally crucified by these numbnuts or killed by a crazy thug is not one I would take.
No matter what the decision, they were hell bent on having their riots.
Looks like Obama called off the Guard.
Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told FOX 2 anchors late on Monday night that he had repeatedly requested the National Guard Monday night… But his requests were ignored.
Just like Bengazi.
Bump
It appears the Governor was in CYA mode when declaring a state of emergency to deflect any criticism of his actions when the SHTF.
Same as the savvy prosecutor who referred the case to the grand jury to prevent himself from being Nifonged.
The National Guard is under the jurisdiction of the governor. The mayors may request help, but they certainly cannot just order the NG to come to their aid. What else did the mayor do to bring calm? He seems to be letting everybody else do the dirty work.
What didn’t help was his reaching out the the Browns, saying that he was going to bring justice against the officer. That was irresponsible at the very least and gave the impression that he thought the officer was wrong. He does not have the right, regardless of his position, to appoint guilt. We have to stop that nonsense that black youth are never guilty. How are they EVER going to grow up and face the responsibilities of LIFE, of we never let them face the consequences of their bad decisions?
They don’t have to marry the mother of the children they sire, they don’t even have to pay child support. They are footloose and fancy free until they get into trouble, but then it is always someone else’s fault, not their own. It is a travesty, what has happened to the black families. It was NOT this way when I was growing up. Thanks to Saul Alinsky, who decided that the way to conquer America was to destroy the family, especially the black families who were VERY strong. They succeeded magnificently. Probably well beyond Alinsky’s wildest dreams. Johnson’s welfare program saw to the utter destruction of the black family, and every other family that gets caught up in welfare system for any length of time. Obama, being the Alinsky student that he was, has only compounded the situation by taking away any prerequisites before a family can go on welfare and now they don’t even check to see if you are telling the truth. Hence the welfare fraud system that outweighs the good done to those who really need the help.
We really need to have political reform in every area. No one should be allowed to serve on the same elected job for more than 1-2 cycles. It creates a sense of power that is almost always abused. This mayor abused his elected power. When he appointed blame to the officer, he was giving the go-ahead to whatever the end results would be. If this is his first term, I pray the electorate vote him out, as he is not worthy of the job. If he has been re-elected, then he has given reason for his removal the next time around.
Race pimp orchestrated, media instigated.
