The mayor of Ferguson couldn’t reach Nixon when things started going bad...
I still want to know who chose the time of the announcement... the only worse time would have been Saturday night at 8pm... And who kept the National guard out? Was that Nixon too?
I’m thinking that maybe Nixon woke up to a horse’s head in his bed with him.
Obama said anger over the grand jury no bill was “understandable”.
It’s not understandable. At all. Any one who punches a cop, tries to take his gun, and then charges the cop is going to get shot. Black, white, purple, green... doesn’t matter. Yet these “understandably angry protestors” believe that the shooting was racially motivated, as if, had Michael Brown been white, the cop would have let himself be tackled, beaten, his gun taken, and then killed with his own gun. These people are idiots.
Obama endorsed this anger, he may very well have given a stand-down order.
Nixon had hours, if not days, of notice of the announcement. Plenty of time to get the Guard into place and protect Ferguson
That he didn’t, and disappeared, is grounds to get his sorry *** out of the Governor’s Mansion .. permanently
Nixon had to pull the trigger to bring in the Guard support teams. I watched the guards arrival live on TV after about 4 hours of watching the town burn. Don’t know when he ordered them in though. Day late and a dollar short.
one article said the DA was more or less forced to release the verdict early because of leaks to the press would exacerbate the violence.
Remember the traffic cones in NJ and does anyone think the media will even report this?
