Ferguson is currently deadlocked due to race conditions.

(compsci joke)

Governor Nixon has called up the Missouri National Guard to keep order in advance of the grand jury decision which will almost certainly choose not to prosecute the police officer who shot Michael Brown.

Because a lot of loud dumb angry people would prefer our justice system to be more akin to ritual sacrifice than rule of law, the FBI believes this will probably lead to riots.

Here's hoping any protests remain peaceful.

The police are gonna have itchy trigger fingers.

I think there's a thread already

Calling in the National Guard prior to the announcement seems a bit...pointed.

[regexcellent]

And prudent.

[Sava]

Yes. Citizens will need protection from the police.

I sure wouldn't want to be on a jury with people outside screaming "no justice, no peace", I'd consider that coercion and jury tampering.

[Kidlicious]

Yes. Citizens will need protection from the police.

You mean the rioters?

[Sava]

I wouldn't go so far as to refer to law enforcement in that way.

Here's a video of a black cop being a dick to white people.

Now settle down.

[Kidlicious]

A video of a cop doesn't mean that thug was going to graduate from college.

[Sava]

Agree. Affirmative action will.

or would have

[Kidlicious]

Woe. Ok.

[Sava]

I figured you'd like that one. We're talking about the kid murdered by Darren Wilson, right?
