Such and order to stand down in the presence of so many felonies had to come from on high. Were I the Colonel of MO HP I would have insisted on a WRITTEN order to stand down. Sure Gov. Nixon issued such and order. I doubt a mere Capt. could have. But will Nixon admit it?

” Start at the top....fire all that gave the orders.”

Obama, Holder and whoever gives them the orders.

”When this is over I’m going to go into my son’s room. My black son. Who wears his pants saggy, his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms. But, that is my baby. ” said Captain Ron Johnson.

Disgusting. And I might add, this is the same Captain Ron Johnson who marches hand in hand with the protestors in Ferguson.

No word yet if he (or his son) are rioting and looting at night. But it wouldn’t surprise me.

You ain’t kidding.

He’s appeasing the thugs at every turn.

He should be ashamed to call himself a law enforcement officer.

"Start at the top....fire all that gave the orders."

That'll never happen. Too many whores at the top willing to do anything they are told just to keep their jobs.

It works out in the end.

Yes, its bad for the business owners, but ultimately they will shut down and leave. Ferguson will be not only a ‘food desert’ but a shopping desert in general.

Hopefully then people will connect the dots between law and order and having nearby stores, services, etc ... a civilized life.

There are lots of areas now where there are no grocery stores and very few stores of any type. The few that are there charge high prices to cover the cost of theft and security

Ferguson needs a top cop like Milwaukee county Sheriff Clarke or Detroit police chief James Craig running the show.

"I wonder that too. It’s like the cops gave the criminals a free night of looting. Why did they decide to do that?"

When you look the other way at the lawbreaking, you are sending the message that you are condoning it. This stand down was departmental orders, handed down from the top...perhaps with a sprinkling of pressure from area politicians, and the DOJ no doubt.

But that is what the progressives want....complete breakdown

Same thing happened in LA in 92 King riots. No leadership and the result citizens are on their own. As I tell my kids if you think government is going to be there for you prepare for major disappointment and suffering.

They should be ashamed but the media and liberals have a lot more culpuability in this and they should really be ashemed but of course never are.

Imagine if the cops had shot a looter who pulled a gun on them.

More riots, more media crap thrown at them.

Plus much of the standing down ocurred wiuth the highway patrol who was led in by a black cop who was talking with shabazz, and throwing gang signs with a family member.
