Missouri Gov. Warns Against ‘Senseless Violence’ in Anticipation of Ferguson Grand Jury Verdict (National Review Online)
Missouri governor Jay Nixon warned those who would incite riots in the wake of an imminent grand-jury decision on the fate of Ferguson police officer Darrell Wilson, emphasizing new crowd-control efforts and explaining that the National Guard was on “stand-by” for any unrest.
The grand jury is expected to soon decide whether to indict Wilson, the officer whose shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown sparked massive riots last summer. And judging by the reaction of local and state officials, many appear to be expecting that Wilson will not be indicted.
