Jay Nixon should be removed from office

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Near a week ago he activated the National Guard. Tonight businesses burn while no police, no fire & no National Guard attend. But HEY at least police headquarters are being protected!

THAT is the biggest thing that bothers me to this point. 0 protection from the so called authorities

This is pretty scandalous listening to it on the radio. Don't worry, white people will be blamed tomorrow. Not specific white persons, just white people in general. The politicians will all point fingers at each other until it's forgotten, just like Katrina.

Didn't someone post a tweet from Nixon that Ferguson's request for the guard was denied?

No, the guard has been posted defending government property.

Fuck the citizens apparently

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Ferguson is ON FIRE.

No National Guard
No police
No fire

You lefties still trust your government to protect you?

We've known this was coming for weeks, not days like Katrina. Yet despite the activation of the national guard & a state of emergency there is little to no response.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Notice I'm not blaming Obama for the lack of judgement by our governor?

 

[Gracie]

Sad and scarey, isn't it? And the government wants to take our guns away. Good luck with that.

 

[MXdad]

I have to agree they are doing a poor job IMHO at nipping this in the bud

 

[S.J.]

Nixon should be fired along with our shit stirring president.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Tonight is proof positive that your government, be it local or national, can not protect you.

Cannot and WILL not. Don't give up your guns.

The Police Aren t Legally Obligated To Protect You - disinformation

In cases such as DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005), the Supreme Court has declined to put police and other public authorities under any general duty to protect individuals from crime.

The Police Have No Obligation To Protect You. Yes Really. - Overlawyered

Fire and police were moving slowly through the streets....
Maybe as reported the sound of 100-150 shots of gunfire had something to do with it.

I can't figure out why they made the grand jury announcement at night instead of day light hours?? .....

Seeing this last night has convinced me of two things...
I will need a gun at some point in my life because when shit happens you ARE on your own....
Second.Not to live near a large black community.

My guess is to let people that work in the area the time to get home safe.

Yeah I thought that as well.
But then many were there last night to cause trouble and would have done it anyway.

It it was my call I would have held till morning...
But if an announcement was made saying a decision was reached but they were holding it
till morning the people might be angered more...

Police Have No Duty To Protect Individuals

Then there must be a court order to change their motto from "Protect and Serve" to something like "Stand by and Watch"

 

[Sunni Man]

Not to sound racist but black people are much harder to see at night.

Which gives them the upper hand for their rampage of rioting, arson, and looting. ......
