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.
Sounds like they are done being bullied. So, how long before they stop posturing and start talking? What kind of Gov. do they have!
they quit acting like thugs that might be possible
They stayed at Kent State years ago over alot less than this situation. Suck it up!
This is a RAGE protest per a reporter and writer who witness this riot frontline…this is not at all PEACE…and it resembles extremists and radicals Islamics outside America…and some protesters are Brown’s fellow gang members as well as other gang members and other radical members of Black Panthers, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson….who were raging their HATE and ANGER against White Americans. ..destroying White businesses.
Brown is a 300 lbs …on drugs…gang member. ..was struggling for the police’s gun and attacking the police is not a normal nor is a law abiding citizen… sure not everyone is the same per I know I wouldn’t want to encounter such people on the street..especially these people play HATE Knockout games on innocent Americans….
and they wonder why the people of ferguson are buying ar 15’s
Time to change out those rubber bullets for frag bullets.
He’s in trouble even more now, from things he’s said in the last few days. This is new news I havn’t heard about.
Pull back the police from ferguson and let the people burn their city to the ground. Let loot and destroy it because an armed robber who assaulted a police officer got shot and killed. Reference St Louis newspaper
Have never seen the Tea Party do this.
I just came here to read the racist comments.
