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.
I say start shooting them. They’ll stop being animals when you start putting them down like animals…
WHEN THE VERDICT COMES THROUGH THERE IS GOING TO BE RIOTS . ALL THE POLICE CAN DO IS OBEY THE LAW AND PUNISH THE RIOTERS. MAYBE A GROUP OF BORROWED BLACK OFFICERS FROM St Lewis COULD BE BROUGHT IN OR NATIONAL GUARD. WHAT EVER, BUT IT MUST STOP.
its time to just shoot every black ass hole in this town

If they had behaved them selves the NG would not be necessary.
Time for a repeat of Kent State.
There is evidence that most of the rioting and looting was done by outsiders, people not from Ferguson. There’s even evidence that shows some of it was done by disguised cops. I don’t condone the violence, but I think the citizens should continue protesting until the killer cop is brought to justice.
These thugs need a reality check. Maybe if they had jobs to go to or some kind of a life they would stop this lunacy. This trial hasn’t even begun and this lynch mob is already calling for his head. Pathetic.
