Missouri Declares State Of Emergency, National Guard Sent To Ferguson (Live Stream)

The governor said in a statement on Monday that the soldiers would help “maintain peace and protect those exercising their right to free speech” in the event of demonstrations following the grand jury’s announcement, which is expected in the coming days.

“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,” he said.

National guard troops in Ferguson would again be commanded by brigadier general Gregory Mason, a veteran of the Missouri state highway patrol, which will police potential unrest alongside the St Louis metropolitan police and St Louis county police.

So in this lethal mix you have the National Guard, the local police, protesters, the KKK and Anonymous.  All of whom are waiting for the announcement of wether or not that policeman will face charges.  If he is, I’m not sure anything will happen, at least until there is a verdict.  But if not..    who knows what could happen.
