I can’t imagine anyone thinking this was going to come off peaceful.

That is what was said and furthermore, there was an almost pridefulness about the police not shooting one person tonight! They have gotten word from the top to use extreme restraint and as you can see, it ended up unleashing pure mayhem in Ferguson.

The National Guard is stationed at their command post.

Well, of course they are.

Where else should be?

I mean, who could predict that there might be rioting and looting in Ferguson and the National Guard might need to be in Ferguson or have a rapid deployment plan to enter Ferguson at a moments notice on the night they announce the Grand Jury will no bill Officer Wilson after weeks of threats by “protesters” that all hell will break out and Ferguson will burn if Wilson is not charged with murder and arrested?/s

Apparently, the fear of “racial optics” prevailed.
