Did you catch his mother saying that she didn't want the protesters to act rational? Freudian slip?Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

Missouri gov. reveals plan for Ferguson protests

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said the National Guard would be prepared to respond in the event of unrest after a grand jury reaches a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown.The National Guard will be part of a contingent of state and local law enforcement agencies that will step in should protests turn violent.
"This is America. People have the right to express views and grievances, but they do not have the right to put fellow citizens and property at risk," Nixon said Tuesday. "Violence will not be tolerated."
He said police underwent 5,000 hours of training to be better able to respond in the hopes of avoiding the escalating violence like what followed in the immediate aftermath of the Aug. 9 shooting.
"Our dual pillars here are safety and speech," Nixon said. "The vast majority of people who want to speak want to do so in a peaceful fashion."
But community groups say Nixon's plan places blame for previous violence on the wrong party.
"For nearly 100 days, the preponderance of violence has come from the hands of police," said community organizer Damon Davis. "We have proven we can peacefully assemble and function at a protest, can the police say the same?"
Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, once seen as a viable liaison between the community and the authorities, joined Nixon, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar at the announcement.
But it was clear the community felt it had no voice in the decision.
"Governer Nixon's choice to act unilaterally in this police plan is a slap in the face to every protester who has worked tirelessly over the past 90-plus days to reach peaceful solutions," said Taurean Russell, cofounder of HandsUpUnited.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said the grand jury is expected to complete their work by mid-November, but Nixon Tuesday said no date has yet been determined.

They should use water cannons or fire hoses or whatever they have available to hose down any crowds. No one is going to want to be wet in this weather. I doubt if there is anything that would be more effective, and less lethal, except to those that get sick from it.
One of the protest groups released a map of potential targets, ranging from government buildings to museums, hospitals, some large businesses in the area, like Anhuieser-Busch, Boeing, and other businesses. I have no idea what they are going to do with the map.
Then you have the KKK weighing in, saying they will be there to protect people, using deadly force if possible. Obama supposedly got the word out to keep the people stirred up. I see a potential big mess coming when officer Wilson goes unindicted by the Grand Jury. And just like after the Trayvon Martin deal, minorities far away from the situation will be taking shots at whitey.Tom

Let's form a 51st State and put them there with the muzzies and let them run their own little kingdom. When it turns into Detroit in six months, they can't ask for a bailout either.Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.
