Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation," Gov. Jay Nixon (D-MO) said the local police "attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting" by releasing a video of Michael Brown allegedly engaging in a "strong-arm" convenience store robbery.
"I think it had an incendiary effect," Nixon said. "I mean, when you release picture and you clearly are attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting, shot down in his own street, a young man and at the same time you’re releasing information to try to make it, to tarnish him, then properly, there was a lot of folks that were concerned about that, and I do think it flamed it back up and has caused us to have to deal with some of that."

Bet the idiot wouldn’t have said that had it been HIS store that got robbed
Police are being Trained to Ignore Black Crime
Next time the Governor needs police help, maybe they will be on a long break.
I am still looking, but I can’t find the sarcasm tag...The guv cannot be serious...
Unbelievable.The governor is in on the scam.
I see he’s not looking for the PBA’s votes in the next election.
Governor Nixon is one corrupt man (little m)
Yes I see a big case of “Blue Flu” hitting St. Louis police.
According to the “strong arm” robbery video and the “witness” video posted here today, I’d say that Brownie the “gentle giant” liked to use his immense size to intimidate other people. That’s why that little weasel Johnson used the boy to do his cigar” “shopping” for him at the convenience store. “Besmirch” my butt. This ‘RAT guvnah” is a clueless idiot.
Yeah, but only for the past 50 years.
This is from the Onion or Scrappleface right? Right?...
It’s increasingly difficult to believe how stupid and evil democrats are.
(Head spinning)
Where I come from, you besmirch yourself when you smoke pot, walk around in shower shoes with your pants falling down, and throttle store clerks during the commission of convenience store robberies.
What an inept man.
Governor says “to besmirch a victim””
And what do you call what he is doing. Influencing a jury pool, maybe. I thought we all should know the facts no matter where it leads. He seems beholding to the left wing of his party Obama/Holder.
They weren’t actually cigars.
They were wraps.
I’m sure Gov Hypocrite has no problem with them besmirching the officer involved before the investigation is over.
The truth is the truth—some people just can’t handle it.
I suppose he thinks Trayvon was profiled, stalked and gunned down just because he was black.
Something a cigar is not just a cigar.
