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 SHOULD START ARRESTING THOSE THAT WILL NOT STOP ,WENT TOLD TO GO HOME, AND STOP RIOTING.
And please TELL us , what exactly will be protocol ?? More rubber bullets ? Bean bags ? Water hoses ? The same protocol that both law enforcement entities used ? Well that didn’t work now did it ! I see HUGE HOLES in our security details !!! And if I can see them , so can all of our enemies ! I see weakness !
Dan Hawkins. Racism? You’re right. The blacks are being racist.
Truth And Action Yes. All those insurance claims will be wonderful for business. Merchants file claims. Insurance companies want to know why. Premiums will go up. IF he can afford the cost, prices go up. People stop shopping there. Shop goes out of business. If he can’t afford the premiums, he goes out of business. Now, tell me, how is THAT good for the economy? Just exactly how is that good for the businesses there? What are you smoking, anyway?
Kristin Moore NEWS FLASH They do. This is not race. This is about a family getting pissed because their son was not raised properly. He stole and assaulted a store owner. He then assaulted a cop. What was the cop supposed to do, let the teen do what he wanted simply because he was black? WRONG!!!
A strictly enforced curfew for all is needed now!
THESE BLACKS HAVE NO MORALS AT ALL. THEY ARE GOING TO DO AS THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE!! OH, THAT’S RIGHT, WE GOT ONE OF THEM IN THE WHITE HOUSE???
there’s no wrong side or a right one. the blame lays not on one’s shoulders. police exceed their power, they feel alright to use sticks and bullets against women and unarmed people. but for people, people use any chance to riot – a civilian got shot, a blackout or a hurricane, to crash shops and steal goods, and we are also an armed nation so there’s a reason for police to carry shields. every side must take steps towards each other
Thugs, shoot them
We can thank the President and his peoples racism talk that caused this.
