THE GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI IS SENDING THE NATIONAL GUARD TO FERGUSON TOMORROW. CNN just announced that the Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon has signed an executive order deploying National Guard troops to Ferguson. A CNN reporter quoted the governor as saying, Sunday nights clashes prompted his decision given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent acts on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to help restore peace and order to this community. Capt. Ron Johnson of the Ferguson Police Dept. says some protesters acted criminally and provoked others. He says molotov cocktails were thrown at police and that there were shootings, lootings, vandalism and other acts of violence. I was watching this and the shootings were reported as being no where near the protesters and I dont believe the police were involved. I dont believe the shootings had anything to do with the protests. I believe most of the protesters were peaceful and yet police were throwing gas canisters at them and shooting rubber bullets at them. The peaceful protesters should be differentiated from the criminals in this volatile situation.
