Missouri's governor declared a state ofemergency on Monday ahead of a pending grand jury decision on whether to file criminal charges against a white police officer for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.Worse President in history.
Jay Nixon said in an executive order that he was taking the action because "there is the possibility of expanded unrest" regardless of the findings of federal and state investigations, which he said could soon be announced.
When asked what he thought of President Obama encouraging black Ferguson protest leaders to "Stay on course" during a private White House meeting with them on November 5th, Nixon had no comment.
