National Guard Ordered Onto Streets of Ferguson, Missouri
NBC ^

Posted on 08/18/2014 12:17:02 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Missouri's governor ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Ferguson early Monday after another night of violence following the shooting by police of an unarmed black teen. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk," Gov. Jay Nixon said in a statement. "Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community.”

Impeach Nixon!

Sunday morning talk shows he’s doing the rounds complaining about the militarized police. That night he calls in the real troops.

Now we’ll have 18,19 year old kids with machine guns standing guard over a mob cursing at them, throwing rocks, and the occasional Molotov cocktail.

What could go wrong?

Yea, imagine what happens if one of them fire. You think this will spill over? It happened once, but this time the media WANTS a race war.

If the MSM reports "National Guard putting end to riots, looting" - that means the Dems no longer thinks prolonging this is a good idea.

If the MSM reports "Brave demonstrators defy National Guard and curfew" - that means they want more riots.

I’m hoping these riots spread to every State that has a Senate election in November. The Democrats will be Shiiteing bricks.

Cops are NOT national guard.... National guard are NOT cops.

Big difference here.

The last time I was at a National Guard armory, I didn’t see many teenagers. The demographics of the Guard has changed substantially since Kent State. Remember, most of them have had at least one deployment to Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
