Jay Nixon not ready to call special prosecutor

[RandySF]

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon isn't ready to ask that St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch step aside so a special prosecutor can lead the investigation into the death of Michael Brown.

"You have a democratically elected prosecutor," Nixon said in an exclusive interview with the Post-Dispatch today.

Nixon added that he would appoint a special prosecutor "if Bob feels, for a myriad of reasons, that he and his office should step aside. . . . There are clearly a lot of folks calling for that."

McCulloch has drawn criticism from some who say his strong law enforcement connections, and comments he's made since the unarmed Brown was killed by a police officer Aug. 9, raise questions as to whether McCulloch will be able to investigate the shooting without bias against Brown.

1. McCulloch is an idiot if he doesn't step aside.

They should be doing everything to show everyone that they want an unbiased process.

2. Like they care. They don't give a shit if Ferguson kills itself. They don't care. They've proven

that so far.
