I would like to hear an account of a NG Soldier mobilized to the riots. Also I find it ironic "Anglos" have (one of) the loudest opinions of the racial climate in America.
I work with a gentleman who's son is an MP in the MO State Natl. Guard. He said that other than the second night they were stationed thruout St Louis at fire depts, police stations and some businesses. The second night after the announcement they were put into Ferguson as a show of force and to guard the looted and damaged buildings. No actual confrontations, no actual authority, other than to assist the police if needed. He went there 2 days before the grand jury announcement and is still there. Thought they would be dismissed this week but it is looking like they will rotate them thru Ferguson while the cleanup is still going on.
