Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a curfew Saturday in the city of Ferguson and a state of emergency after fresh violence erupted overnight amid public anger over the shooting death of a young unarmed black man by a white police officer.
The curfew will run from midnight to 5 a.m., starting tonight.
“This is a test,” Nixon said at a news conference, saying “the eyes of the world” are watching to see how the city handles the aftermath of the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown.
The announcement comes after community activists had taken to the streets and social media Saturday in hopes of preventing another night of looting and violence in Ferguson, Mo., after at least three business fell victim to a predawn rampage by young men who targeted local stores as others tried desperately to stop them.

Yes. They want a lynching, literally, couple people keep yelling that.
Its time for rule of law to reign. You dont want to abide by the law you go to jail. Force will be met with force. Its nonsense now. Its been a week of appeasing the criminal activities.

This press conference is so full of stupidity.
A curfew has been set. If they break it, unleash the tear gas on their asses and haul them to jail. They're not being peaceful. They are destroying private property.
I was giving cliffs of the press conference in the other thread.
Now they're saying that they can control the security of the situation themselves.
Now a black man is telling them that their anger is misdirected. They will not STFU.

I come for the debates but it's the top notch legal analysis like this that keeps me here.
Curfews and states of emergency are legal. If you don't like it, run for office or try to declare a constitutional convention.

People are going to die over this. Mark my words. Black,white, civilian and law enforcement. People are going to die if this officer is found not guilty or justified.

Can you imagine the property values in ferguson? Probably can't give it away.

Hey kilo 
How close to there are you? Hope you're safe and well.
This! They have been warned. And stealing hair weave has nothing to do with justice.
