BREAKING>>> #Ferguson Mayor Called For National Guard – REQUESTS WERE IGNORED! (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | November 25, 2014, | Jim Hoft

Posted on 11/25/2014 12:05:31 AM PST by sheikdetailfeather

Now this… Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told FOX 2 anchors late on Monday night that he had repeatedly requested the National Guard Monday night… But his requests were ignored.

“I know I’ve been on the phone in contact with the County Executive’s Office. I know he has requested. I am requesting. I’ve requested the National Guard troops to come out from their command post to help restore order along the business district. We have not seen that… Those calls have gone unheeded at this point… We need to have the governor step up and give us the resources that he’s promised from the beginning. He said he would have a strong response. The resources necessary would be provided. They have not been provided so far.“

They thought all that community outreach they did prior to the verdict would stop the riots. They did not expect what happened according to the press conference just now. Tomorrow the protestors will be in Sanford, Fla.. It is supposed to be very stormy here tomorrow as of 6am. If they try this in Sanford they will be filled with buckshot by business owners who will not be waiting for the police to arrive.

I can’t imagine anyone thinking this was going to come off peaceful.

Nixon is fading fast in Missouri with duplicity and inaction. But, honestly do you think he will buck Obama and Holder??? He has had his orders for weeks.

That is what was said and furthermore, there was an almost pridefulness about the police not shooting one person tonight! They have gotten word from the top to use extreme restraint and as you can see, it ended up unleashing pure mayhem in Ferguson.

Watched the interview. Incredible. They are so proud that no shots were fired, no one hurt, all while chosing to watch their own community burn. Even had Obama audacity to say they had and were protecting local businesses while split-screen showed live the depth of their ingnorance and lies.

Unprepared, they opted to watch, maybe belatedly calling for help but offered that even 10K would not have been enough. Interesting that they noted the national guard was left protecting the police station even while apparently the business or firestation next door burned.

From Obama, Holder, Nixon, on down to these two keystone cops, this is another epic disaster for Obama.

Let’s see how he spins this tomorrow and over the coming days.

Mayor be a white dude.

He's also a Christian and Republican. In fact Mr. Knowles was once the chairman of the Missouri Young Republicans. He's a good man and a true Patriot.

The National Guard is stationed at their command post.

Well, of course they are.

Where else should be?

I mean, who could predict that there might be rioting and looting in Ferguson and the National Guard might need to be in Ferguson or have a rapid deployment plan to enter Ferguson at a moments notice on the night they announce the Grand Jury will no bill Officer Wilson after weeks of threats by “protesters” that all hell will break out and Ferguson will burn if Wilson is not charged with murder and arrested?/s

The decent citizens need to simply lay in wait for these vermin.

Let the police know that if they won’t do their job, someone else will.

This is total B. S.

Insurance companies should refuse to pay off on their insured’s policies and refer them to the township and the governor’s office.

If they won’t protect property from hoodlums, let them pay for the damage.

I'm glad to hear it, but he's the wrong color and the wrong political party to get NG help from Governor Nixon.

I’ll side with the Ferguson police department thank you very much. (not focused on you here)

Sorry, if an officer hasn’t done anything wrong, he shouldn’t be punished.

The governor can go pound sand.

Kind of hard to go pound sand when your rear end is getting pounded by President Pantload.

Yea, but if he was giving Ferguson a hard time on his own, he deserves to be kicked to the curb.

I don’t know that he was, but that was what I was referring to.

Other than that, I agree.
