Shortly after Missouri Gov Jay Nixon called in the National Guard to assist with the rioting in Ferguson, protesters responded by storming Gov Nixon´s office chanting “The National Guard has got to go”
Protestors in Ferguson took their rioting and looting to a new level on Monday when they attempted to storm the office of Governor Jay Nixon, calling him out for the use of the National Guard in heeding off violence.
These protestors began marching towards Governor Nixon’s office this afternoon.
Reporters on the scene were able to capture photos of the protestors attempting to knock open the doors as law enforcement officials scrambled to keep the doors shut, preventing the protestors from storming the building.
Early Monday morning, Governor Nixon had announced that he would be using the National Guard after protests Sunday night turned for the worse, with Molotov cocktails being thrown at police and law enforcement responding by throwing tear gas canisters into the crowd. In a Monday afternoon press conference from the White House, President Obama said that he supported “limited” use of the National Guard to restore calm and order.
This woman was arrested after allegedly blocking the door of the governor’s office.
Many protests have turned violent and led to a curfew over the weekend, which did not go smoothly. Many people did not follow the curfew, which led to more run-ins with police officers. The situation continues to worsen, and it does not appear that any peaceful resolution will occur anytime soon.
they are looking into it jeez people, you are making yourselves look bad
Why is the country afraid of black thugs? ??????
The fact that this man still thinks that the answer is to call for even more force against his own constituents is just further proof of how backwards his thinking is. I mean honestly. You think bringing in more guns to kill more black people is gonna create peace?
One question…when have you ever seen a white riot and looting because a white person got shot, I rest my case…..or marching peacefully, these people think they are entitled so when a black person gets killed by a white police officer that is an excuse to riot and loot. I am from Philly whenblack panthers were out intimidating voters, Nothing was done, NADA, this is all bullish..!
At least GET the FREAKING facts then your sorry assescancimplain, somethingnew and vital us happening everyday with this and it should not be getting all this attention, there are other matters that need attending to that ObamASS needs to address.
Wonder where all of these protesters came from…surely they are not Furgerson’s actual citizens. Somehow there is a grapevine for “protesters of whites” out there…no matter what the situation!!
Just SHOOT these THUGS and they’ll go away !!!!
Hey Governor these are your followers that put you in office!!
just a matter of time before martial law goes into effect in ferguson.
Karen,I don’t think that’s the answer,but they can fill the jails up.
