Mo. governor declares state of emergency in expectation of more Ferguson unrest - The Washington Post: "FERGUSON, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency on Monday and the FBI issued a bulletin warning of likely violence across the country as a St. Louis County grand jury concludes its investigation of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.
Nixon’s announcement, which allows him to mobilize the state’s National Guard to keep order, added to the overflowing docket of anxiety in greater St. Louis as the city braces for the expected news that Wilson will not be charged in the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of Michael Brown, 18.
The FBI bulletin warned law enforcement agencies that “extremist protesters” are likely to attack police officers and federal agents after the decision. “The FBI assesses those infiltrating and exploiting otherwise legitimate public demonstrations with the intent to incite and engage in violence could be armed with bladed weapons or firearms, equipped with tactical gear/gas masks, or bulletproof vests to mitigate law enforcement measures,” the bulletin concluded."
