Ferguson Protesters Mob Courthouse Where Grand Jury Is Deciding On Charges
Against Darren Wilson…
Lets get ready to rumble....
Quote: Several dozen demonstrators took to the streets Monday in Clayton, Missouri, where a grand jury is determining whether to file criminal charges against a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teen in August.
Protesters expressed anger that, 101 days after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri, it was still unclear what will happen to the officer, Darren Wilson.
The St. Louis area is on edge before the decision, which could come any day, and if no charges are brought, many fear a repeat of the sometimes violent protests that rocked Ferguson three months ago.
“We want an indictment. The cops don’t like it,” the group chanted on a day when the temperature was well below freezing as they marched outside the Clayton County courthouse where the grand jury is sitting.
“Something about the way Mike Brown was killed started a fire in me that I can’t ignore,” said one of the demonstration’s organizers, Dhorbua Shakur, 24.
He said he had little sympathy for area residents who are tired of the demonstrations, which left some businesses in Ferguson burned out.

BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Ferguson Grand Jury Decision – Update: Activates National Guard…
Quote: (Reuters) – Missouri’s governor declared a state of emergency on Monday ahead of a pending grand jury decision on whether to file criminal charges against a white police officer for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.
Jay Nixon said in an executive order that he was taking the action because “there is the possibility of expanded unrest” regardless of the findings of federal and state investigations, which he said could soon be announced.
Update: Anyone recall National Guard troops being deployed to handle Tea Party rallies?
Quote: Governor Jay Nixon has signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency and activating the National Guard to support law enforcement during any period of unrest that might occur following the decision of the grand jury in the Michael Brown case.
The Governor’s order calls on the National Guard to support law enforcement in maintaining safety and protecting constitutional rights.
Nixon says the action is part of the effort to be prepared for anything that happens after the grand jury decides whether to charge police officer Darren Wilson with a crime for fatally shooting Michael Brown.
“The National Guard is well-suited to provide security at command posts, fire stations and other locations as well as perform other functions that will free up law enforcement officers to remain focused on community policing and protecting constitutional rights,” Nixon wrote in a statement.

Funny, no where does it say Governor Jay Nixon, Democrat, said that...
If this were, say, John Kasich, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, making the basic assumption that there are going to be riots, there will be looting, businesses and buildings burned, cars flipped and Police assaulted, those Governors party affiliation wouldn't be front and center?
Talk about racist assumptions. Is he not only implying, but predicting, that these people protesting will turn violent? That's pretty racist, IMO.

Spent the weekend in St.Louis with the wife's side of the family. Had dinner Saturday night around the corner from the courthouse in Clayton. Homeland Security vehicles were all over the place. People are really concerned. There were rumors that the GJ was going to release their findings yesterday. The tension is very real.

I have no doubt Obama wants violent protests and people killed so he can come in like a savior and make peace. Problem is I don't think those protesting like Obama and won't give a damn what he says.

State Senator Naveed opened her mouth again... "The MIssouri National Guard should be under federal control"...
I swear, how could the Republicans not find ANYONE to run against her in this last election?

RE: Ferguson Protesters Mob Courthouse Where Grand Jury Is Deciding On Charges
No the real idiot is Brown, who robbed a store, would not follow police orders to get out of the street and then attacked and punched a cop (who is armed). Oh and his is dead, what an idiot. Wilson is alive and by all accounts probably will not be indicted.
Who is the idiot?
Brown family, Sharpton, Lawyer they will all make money off of his death though, nice folks.

What exactly do they think this is going to prove? Besides needing a cage at the local zoo for the kids to point and giggle at. Keep your peanuts and pixie sticks in your pockets, kiddos.
Bunch of damn idiots. All of this for a f*cking thug. And you KNOW these suckers are serious if they're out in this cold weather, I don't EVER see blacks walking around in cold weather. Hell, that's the only time it's even safe to drive around some streets in Shreveport.
You don't ever see black people walking in the cold? Lol
Only an idiot would do that.
Which means there are lots of idiots out in Ferguson.
Yep. Especially the one who shot and killed an unarmed black teen.
Swing and a miss. Wilson isn't out in the freezing weather protesting himself.
No but he's an idiot for killing an unarmed teen.
