They Really Want A War
Jay Nixon, the Governor of Missouri, has reacted to the failure of his curfew to do anything except anger the people of Ferguson by sending in the National Guard.
What a brilliant move – the trouble really started when the police showed up in their military costumes, so now he’s sending in the real military to further anger people on the same day an independent autopsy showed that Michael Brown was shot 6 times, not the ‘few times, maybe more than two but not many more’ that the Ferguson police chief has publicly claimed after looking at the ‘official autopsy’.
The US Attorney General is on his way to Ferguson, but I don’t think he is going to be able to do much because the Feds cannot simply take over the case of a homicide, the way they can take over other types of crimes.
The only way things can be calmed down is by telling people the truth about the incident, and that doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.
