The Missouri National Guard finally arrived in Ferguson, Missouri this afternoon — One day after the city was destroyed.
Late Monday nifht Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told FOX 2 anchors late on Monday night that he had repeatedly requested the National Guard Monday night… But his requests were ignored.
“I know I’ve been on the phone in contact with the County Executive’s Office. I know he has requested. I am requesting. I’ve requested the National Guard troops to come out from their command post to help restore order along the business district. We have not seen that… Those calls have gone unheeded at this point… We need to have the governor step up and give us the resources that he’s promised from the beginning. He said he would have a strong response. The resources necessary would be provided. They have not been provided so far.“
This is what is called a Dereliction of Duty!
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon told reporters today that he sent “some” National Guard troops to Ferguson “late” last night.
NOT TRUE—
A reporter on the scene says the National Guard never made it to West Florissant during the mass rioting.
The reporter says the group he was with NEVER SAW THE NATIONAL GUARD ALL NIGHT IN FERGUSON!
Today the National Guard finally arrived in Ferguson—
In buses.
Where were they last night?
