C N N Breaking News: Missouri State Hwy Patrol To Direct Security in Ferguson (559 hits)


The Missouri State Highway Patrol "will be directing the team that provides security" in Ferguson, Gov. Jay Nixon said today.

Ferguson has "looked a little bit more like a war zone, and it's not acceptable," he said.

The town is a "powder keg," the city's Police Chief Thomas Jackson said, ahead of yet more protests expected after the police shooting of African-American teenager Michael Brown.

Obama Calls for Calm as Missouri Governor Pledges Shifts in Police Methods
Expressing concern over the “violent turn” of events in this St. Louis suburb, President Obama said on Thursday that he wanted an open and transparent investigation into the shooting death on Saturday of an unarmed 18-year-old black man by the police.
Speaking on Martha’s Vineyard, where he is on vacation, Mr. Obama said there was no excuse for the use of excessive force by the police that has persisted in the five days of protests since the shooting of the teenager, Michael Brown.
“Now’s the time for healing,” Mr. Obama said. “Now’s the time for peace and calm on the streets of Ferguson.”
Minutes earlier, Gov. Jay Nixon promised that residents of Ferguson were going to see a different tone in the response by the police after five nights of unrest in which the authorities have used tear gas and rubber bullets to control the crowds.
Officials said that Mr. Nixon would soon remove the St. Louis County police from handling the unrest in Ferguson.
