    This doesn't make anything better with this move.

    Sure it does if it protects the people of Ferguson.

    They've shown they have no capability or willingness to act like civilized adults, that's for sure.

    yes these thugs have no jobs and are on food stamps. Instead of being nice and following law they act like animals. Rmr rodney king? they acted like the city of LA was the jungle. As a republican and libertarian I support missouri governor and his police. ain't no racism today we just want to protect property and business. People need to get over stuff that happened a long time ago. If we follow the law and don't act like savages, we can move forward. Evidince shows brown was a thug so why riot over him?

    No it doesn't it send a bad message that we will use force to intimidate the people of Ferguson you need to check your facts they have shown that for awhile but you only listen to faux news network.

    Personally I think that if the lynch mob goes back out in force and gets violent they should be put down and I think it's smart to bring out the National Guard to do it.

    If it's a peaceful protest of an innocent man not facing charges then that's one thing, if it gets violent then that's another. Historically lynch mobs aren't happy when they don't get blood.

    Serious question -- are you black? It's the only way I can comprehend your bias in this matter.

    Have you seen what the protesters are threatening to do? They've even told the world there will be violence and they will cause problems. Bringing in help to protect the peace and people's property is the right thing to do.

    The lynch mobs as you have called them have been protesting without any known problems lately just because there maybe a no billing doesn't mean that the same mob will riot.

    I hope they stay peaceful, but that's not what they've been saying. It would be best for everyone involved if they were smart enough to avoid rioting when they find out that the innocent man won't be charged.

    where did you get your stories cause the only people that have stated that there will be violence has been the kkk
    http://bossip.com/1063665/god-bless...st-black-ferguson-terrorist-protesters-43081/

    And there is nothing wrong with protecting the peace and property just remember all the people that are protesting aren't rioting .

    I would like to think all of us would want them to be peaceful as it has been over the last few weeks. as i have stated before the grand jury may see somethings that the public didn't you say he innocent i may think he's not without knowing all the fact that the grand jury maybe looking at who really knows he may just get charged.

    The people of Ferguson need to respect the Grand Jury's decision -- whether it goes their way or not. Civilized people adhere to rule of law. That's the difference between the United States and corrupt third world countries. The media of course is largely responsible for these protests. They spread false information prematurely and didn't allow the legal system to run its course. As a result, you have all these protesters in Ferguson who simply don't know the facts.

    The black community has deep problems (crime, poverty, low levels of education, drugs, violence). These protests will make things much worse for them by causing non-blacks to be scared of them. This will then ripple through to many aspects of their lives and will lower their quality of life.

    I can agree with a lot that you have wrote but take a look at some of the protesters they are not all black.

    that's an excellent point. the accurate number is 99.999% black, 0.001% other

    getting my popcorns out for this one, when does the decision come out anyway

    I will be really surprise it is a "peaceful" protest if the Jury's decisions doesn't fit certain people's expectations.

    Sure there will be some people that wants to peaceful, but there will definitely be a lot of others out there who will wreck the city and cause danger to the public just for the hell of it. These are definitely going to people that just wants to riot for the sake of rioting and probably gives two shet about the situation
