On August 19, 2014, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon demanded that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson be prosecuted.
…In Ferguson, people of all races and creeds are joining hands to pray for justice. Teenagers cooking meals for law enforcement officers. Community leaders demonstrating courage and heroism throughout the night in standing against armed and violent instigators…
…But we will not be defeated by bricks and guns and Molotov cocktails. With the help of peaceful demonstrators, pastors and community leaders, Captain Johnson and law enforcement will not give up trying to ensure that those with peace in their hearts are not drowned out by those with senseless violence in their hands.
Second, a vigorous prosecution must now be pursued.
The democratically elected St. Louis County prosecutor and the Attorney General of the United States, each have a job to do.
Today conservative reporter Adam Sharp asked Governor Nixon if he still believed Officer Wilson should be charged in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
The liberal media and the governor laughed at him.
