Ferguson

I just read a report that the cop in Ferguson that killed the black man was really beaten up.  He has among other things a ruptured eye socket.  If this turns out to be the case and he did take a beating from the man he shot, it puts Governor Nixon in a really bad spot because he called for the vigorous prosecution of the cop.  Nixon made it sound like he was already found guilty.  As I have previously stated, I am an independent leaning to democrat.  However, I cannot back Nixon in this mess.  And anyone who tries to appease the thugs at the expense of the cops had better be ready to supply permanent National Guards there because he won't find anyone who will be willing to work as a cop in this area.  I would not.
