Watch Live: Press Conference With Gov. Nixon and Highway Patrol Officials in Ferguson
[Live event concluded…]
That was quite a scene. The news is that Gov. Nixon is declaring a state of emergency and imposing a curfew, from 12 midnight to 5am. He said nothing about releasing the incident report for the shooting, or the autopsy results for Michael Brown.
The audience was very incensed, and there were many angry interruptions. I don’t know if they intended to take more questions, but Nixon was clearly rattled, and beat a hasty retreat after just a few minutes.
I don’t think this helped very much.
