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.
SO BRO’S RUN THE GOVERNMENT, NOT THE GOVERNMENT ? , STOMP THE BRO’S DOWN, PUT THEM IN CHAINS
Now lets see I can understand if they believe the shooting to be unfair!But what I don’t understand is the kind of mentality that says hey a brother was shot down so lets all go run out and storm the place and steal as much as we can. Its like we have to have attention.It looks like it was either instigated or they are just plain stupid. We have a US Marine locked up in a Mexican jail. Why couldn’t they have put some of that energy they are displaying now to help the cause with everyone else to have him released? Or maybe his skin wasn’t the right color? We are all brothers and sisters.The Racism c**p is fueled by our own government. Wake Up people……… Saul Alinski tactics
“‘The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.'”
I blame the parents! If they would have raised him to respect others, he be here today.
well Jay.. so much for Mr. Nice guy… time to grow up..
So, why are they protesting/rioting?
They aren’t accomplishing anything and by their actions, they’re saying it’s ok to disrespect the law and law enforcement even though the people are wrong.
law and law enforcement are the problem…..nothing more then a gang with badges…
Next stage, it gets cold out, and everyone goes home.
MOB of low information voters. Mob mentality. Mob, easily lead.
