Governor Jay Nixon appointed a new state public safety director Wednesday, giving his administration its only black Cabinet member nearly three weeks after the shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer led to violent protests in a St. Louis suburb.
The governor said former St. Louis police chief Daniel Isom II will take over as director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety on Sept. 1. He will replace Jerry Lee, who resigned after almost three years as director.
The appointment comes after Nixon faced criticism both for the lack of racial diversity among his department leaders and for the state’s response to protesters and looters following the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.
Nixon did not directly say whether the leadership change was related to the events in Ferguson.
He said Isom ‘‘has experience and training in law enforcement that are almost unmatched.’’ Nixon also denied forcing Lee to resign.
‘‘I work constantly to try to make sure we have a government that reflects the citizens of the state,’’ Nixon said at a St. Louis press conference that abruptly ended after he had fielded only a few questions.

I hope the replaced officer has a good lawyer and sues the crap out of whoever they can.
This Nixon is a real dufus.
LOL
Perhaps this guy will urge blacks not to charge officers with a gun in their hand, but I doubt it.
Some safety officer...
Hell...97% of all blacks should be running this country....its how they vote...let em win....I’ll take my chance’s
I’m sure Daniel Isom II is proud upon being chosen because of his “qualifications.”
I can just hear Nixon. “Get me a black guy! ANY black guy!”
pandering
Missouri governor replaces head of public safety
Safety. . .for what public? Is anyone staying in Ferguson?
As LBJ said when he appointed Marshall to the SC “When people look in that office I want them to see a ni44er sittin’ in there.”
We are quickly becoming an Apartheid nation. Soon Whites will not be allowed to hold high positions
Pander pander
In Dan Isom’s defense, I have met the man several times, he is well-spoken and assuming, a thinker and knows the field very well, not the “fittin ta rise up” firebrand Captain Johnson turned out to be.
However, I do question the timing.
Before this is all over, a lot of white police officers who went to try to keep a community from burning completely down are going to be unemployed and I am talking hundreds.
All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.
This regime and its supporters don’t give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in Ferguson only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.
With Ferguson, Holder beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.
That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.
They and by they I’m mean that political party which is in name only called “democrat”. There is nothing “democratic” about them. While the riots were going on you had a democrat governor calling for a “vigorous prosecution” and his state police commander flashing signs marching with radicals . With the cops reportedly told, let them riot. As the local state democrat representative repeats the propaganda dished out by the regime.
The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by “news” members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . It’s time both are as well as every politician belonging to the party known as democrat .
“Hell...97% of all blacks should be running this country....its how they vote...let em win....I’ll take my chance’s”
Ferguson is about 70% black. Consequently blacks could vote in anyone they choose - all they would have to do is actually vote. Go figure....
Will the esteemed and capable (sarc) Captain Johnson be the next Commander of the State Highway Patrol? He did such a wonderful job controlling things in Ferguson. Heck, he may end up carrying a suitcase for Holder or some other important job in DC.
This nixon fellow is quite a piece of work...a typical DIMocRAT.
