Mo. Gov Nixon: ‘We Need Peace In Order to Get Justice’

Mo. Gov Nixon: ‘We Need Peace In Order to Get Justice’ (National Review Online)

Missouri governor Jay Nixon offered a positive take on the performance of law enforcement in Ferguson, Mo., in recent days, emphasizing that their use of force has been limited and that protesters have largely been able to demonstrate freely. But the curfew he imposed, he noted, may need to be in force for a while, arguing that law enforcement will need to have a presence while investigations proceed.

“We need to get peace in order to have justice,” he said, echoing protesters’ popular cry of “no justice, no peace.”
