A joint House and Senate committee is investigating why Gov. Jay Nixon did not use National Guard troops to prevent burning and looting in Ferguson on Nov. 24, the night McCulloch announced that the grand jury would not indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of Brown....

More like “why did he fail to manipulate the Grand Jury to become a lynch mob?”

Because he was a coward.

I think she should be asking for an investigation as to why the obvious manipulation by the governor and the press did not succeed in getting Wilson indicted.

Taxation or a birthright?

First they complained that he DIDN’T manipulate the jury to press for a guilty verdict, now they’ve switched tactics and are claiming he DID manipulate the grand jury towards a “not guilty” verdict.

More of the world upside down...it will just get worse thorough-your life.

We've allowed low IQ buffoons to have an platform for their absurdity.

Truth and honesty no longer matter.

Everybody’s a Monday Morning Quarterback......

Why didn’t this ‘representative’ of the people use her influence to stop her black brethren from burning—looting—being totally destructive in their own community?

Maybe the burned & looted property owners should ask her this question?

My Dad used to call it “Peeing in your own soup”.....

I have absolutely no sympathy for the feral animals in Ferguson & elsewhere. I lived thru the Watts riots & many of those buildings are still not rebuilt.

For those not familiar with Missouri politics, although we have a democrat governor, both houses of our legislature are dominated by Republicans—so representative May can ask for an investigation, but it will go nowhere. Ironically, the D.A. she wants investigated is a democrat.
