Governor won`t answer why National Guard plans changed, leaving soldiers on sideline

Via avordvet


I missed this somehow.

While parts of North St. Louis County burned, hundreds of National Guardsmen waited on the sidelines.

We`ve learned that all 2,200 Guardsmen were in St. Louis area before the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision.   Not all of them were used, when it appears they were most needed.  Hundreds of them were part of a special force ready to act, yet remained on standby while businesses burned.

During FOX2 live coverage the night of November 25th, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said, ‘It`s one in the morning.  There are fires all over North St. Louis County, buildings burning in Ferguson, Jennings, Dellwood, unincorporated North St. Louis County and (the National Guard is) nowhere in sight.  At this point the promise is unfulfilled.’

Meanwhile hundreds of Guardsmen remained stationed nearby.  Video obtained by FOX 2 shows soldiers ready for action inside a building near Lambert Airport.

Here`s a breakdown of the National Guardsmen we`ve learned were in place the Saturday before the Grand Jury decision.

    And the response like Arnold in Terminator 2 "because Valerie Jarrett told me to".

    The treasonous, Mayor Nixon, supposedly, did not want another Kent State.
    Yea, right. NYC Mayor Koch, Macon Mayor Machine Gun Ronnie, and
    Chicago Mayor Daley didn't mind.
