Missouri Democratic Governor Jay Nixon ordered the Missouri National Guard not to patrol Ferguson during the first night of destructive riots after police officer Darren Wilson’s grand jury exoneration in the Michael Brown shooting case.
Businesses were burned that November night and 20-year old DeAndre Joshua was shot to death in a burned car.
St. Louis-based radio and television newscaster Jamie Allman flagged a buried lede in a January 9 Associated Press article that discussed Nixon’s plan. The Gateway Pundit highlighted text from the article, which described a meeting in which top Missouri officials, including Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, convened and talked about getting Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson to resign.
