Holder told Gov. Nixon to keep National Guard out of Ferguson?

#2  imho, Mr. Holder etal. are hoping for a new variant of the Watts riots. DC-encouraged Police ROE will ensure they last a l-o-n-g time, simmering away until a good crisis is needed to not go to waste.

#1  Personally I suspect Gov Nixon realized that if the National Guard goes in and a single person is bloodied or killed no matter what the reason he would be blamed, so he chickened out.

After all when the businesses are all burned and Obama has declared disaster area he can be the guy giving out checks and posing for pictures while damning the injustice of it all.
