Gov Nixon should call for a special prosecutor or resign himself. When you are unable to make

decisions you should not be in an executive position. The District Attorney is right by calling him out.

1. they are both

wrong... only thinking of themselves and their political future (not the people of Ferguson, the well-being of the community, fairness or justice) ... disgusted by both of them

2. I get the impression that McCullogh has something on Nixon.

It appears to me that the prosecutor is taunting the governor, daring him to act.

And that indicates some sort of threat, IMO.

3. McCullogh is going for Gov one day and also knows that anyone with any sense

would pull him because his father a police officer was killed by a black man when he was 14yr old.

That would be a very hard personal wall to clime and still be a fair player.

4. How much does the police union contribute

to their political campaigns?

5. Are there "police unions" in St Louis the home of CCC and what does this have to do

with Gov making a decision, especially since I doubt it will get pass the grand jury.

6. CCC?

Political contributions can potentially influence the decisions made by politicians holding elected office: quid pro quo.

7. The St. Louis-based Council of Conservative Citizens traces its roots directly to the racist,

anti-integrationist White Citizens' Councils of the 1950s and 1960s.

8. Gov Nixon is still trying to sit on top of the fence...

... and he can't figure out a way to make a decision that won't really piss off a huge chunk of his voting base.
