National Guard Called In to Restore Order.

With school again cancelled in the Ferguson district, with more people being shot during the protests, with ongoing property damage including the McDonalds that had previously been shut down by police, with death threats against the store clerk who was initially confronted by Big Mike Brown... the National Guard will be on the streets tonight, patrolling and keeping the peace.

The autopsy results show Michael Brown was not shot in the back, fleeing police with his hands upraised as the initial eyewitness reported, sparking the outrage.

Mr. Brown might have been unarmed, but his physical presence as demonstrated in the video with the smaller clerk, and his returning to tower over the smaller man after initially pushing him out of the way, is consistent with what the officer, and other eyewitnesses, report happened just minutes later, leading to his death.

What happened inside the police vehicle, whether or not Mr. Brown's hands show injuries consistent with hitting the officer in the face, whether or not Mr. Brown reached for the gun ... these are all relevant issues that will be determined in a science lab and in a court of law. Not on the streets.

Last night, someone brought an 8-year-old to the protests. The national media was only too happy to report the child was tear-gassed, when police were responding to the reports of more people being shot by guns.

It's time to restore order.
It's time to get the children back to school.
It's time to continue releasing the facts of this case, so that the truth can be better known, and changes can be made.

Remember: Mike Brown was not shot dead for being a black man, and he wasn't shot in the back fleeing for his life. Facts matter.
