Missouri governor declares state of emergency ahead of ruling on Ferguson shooting
By Scott Malone
FERGUSON Mo. (Reuters) - Missouri's governor declared a state of emergency on Monday and authorized the state's National Guard to support police in case of violence after a grand jury decides whether to indict a white police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager."As part of our ongoing efforts to plan and be prepared for any contingency, it is necessary to have these resources in place in advance of any announcement of the grand jury’s decision," Governor Jay Nixon said in a statement. The order also puts the St. Louis County Police Department, rather than police in Ferguson, Missouri, in charge of policing protests.
Like I said the other day, the gloves are off and the game is on.
Judging from what I have seen in the recent past, I am predicting bloodshed this time.
