FULL TITLE: Missouri police prepare for riots as they await grand jury decision over whether to charge officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown
Missouri police have been brushing up on constitutional rights and stocking up on riot gear to prepare for a grand jury's decision about whether to charge a white police officer who fatally shot a black 18-year-old in suburban St. Louis.
The preparations are aimed at avoiding a renewed outbreak of violence during the potentially large demonstrations that could follow an announcement of whether Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will face a criminal trial for the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown.
Police and protesters have repeatedly clashed since the shooting, which prompted a national conversation about race and police tactics.

The Governor of Missouri should call up the National Guard this weekend, and have them primed and ready to go.
Prepare?
Lock and load.

Was the 18-year-old black youth armed?
Isn’t it racist to just assume that black protesters will Start a riot???
As Rush likes to say. “Sometimes a tiger is just a tiger.”
I agree.......bet there will be booths set up with get out the vote lit
The MO Governor is totally in th the DimRat tank
Get on already. They’ve been saying this all week and we’ve yet to hear the announcement.
I thought in order to be a nurse you had to have an education. I guess not.
Man, this report needs to be sooo totally released at dusk on Mischief Night.
I think there may be sympathy riots across the nation.
Could be fugly.
The preparations should include several skids of clearly labeled body bags and a few reefer trucks, to be parked in plain sight in front of the local hospital.
Pants up! Don’t loot!
Sometimes a hogleg is just a hogleg.
I don’t see it spreading very far. Most of the rabble rousers are in Ferguson!
But, didn’t expect the guys blocking the highway in Atlanta, so who knows.
Now that’s an excellent question!
In all of the garbage that passes for media now, I don’t recall hearing if he was armed on not... SARC..
They really should amend and resubmit the article to state clarify if this Young, petite frail little child, on his way to his first day at college, was armed.
Because otherwise, I really don’t see how pummeling the shit out of a cop and trying to steal his gun is a problem, as long as you are black. Sarcx2
