In monitoring the MO State Police scanner last night, I thought I caught references to a National Guard staging area. May be wrong, but if they were in place “just in case” and were not deployed, who issued the “Stand down” order?
If they had deployed the troops...ammo would have been issued out, and it would have turned into a Kent-State-like episode, if you ask me. Won’t say it’s right or wrong....but Army guys are pretty absolute about returning fire if fired upon.
Who issued the stand down order? Mr. Benghazi.
