Signing order for curfew to force people from protesting Isn't going to end this.

Democrats are playing with fire In Missouri to try to protect Fergusion PD.For any democrat to win staewide you need strong turnout
In St louis city and county and Kansas City.Many of those who are being ignored now by authorties.People are pissed here In
Missouri.Using looting as excuse to try to end protests won't go over well.

From Nixon's shaky pressers the other day, I very much got the impression that he'd had a major come-to-Jesus phone call from the White House and wasn't really calling the shots. If that's so, I hope he gets another call because a curfew is only going to make things worse.

This is fucking bad. The Ferguson Chief of Police fucking set Captain Johnson up.

There's no going back. There is no fucking way the protests end at midnight.

That is the only hope I can see for this situation. Walk with the protesters so that if and when the pigs show up they will not be shooting just at the black protesters. Come on you preachers - put on your robes and stand up. Come on all those who see the injustice - come and stand up.
