In MO when floods or tornado's hit a community, there are generally road blocks setup into the affected area. The only ones allowed to enter are residents and responders, often for up to week.

Perhaps this approach needs be implemented, keep out the non-residents. Anyone not from Ferguson is welcome to start protests in their community. At least till some cooling down happens.

There has been quite a few people calling for the Missouri Militia to go into Ferguson, below is a partial paste from one email -

I can assure you that you would have been met with great joy, surprise, and
support by the community if you had have launched an operation to engage and
make a visual stand for them. It would have went down in history and never been
forgotten. You would have turned the tide in the war but you chose to stand
down. It is absolutely disgraceful and shameful. I just watched the video of
your liaison giving his reasoning for turning down such an opportunity to bring
it all together and it was not sufficient I'm sorry. It brings tears to my eyes
to see RIGHT NOW on TV breaking news that tear gas is being deployed again and
you are missing this opportunity.
Met with great joy ??? I SERIOUSLY doubt that, suspicion, hostility perhaps. From LE in other parts of the state, St Louis area LE is not well known for good race relations. Bundy asked for help, to my knowledge not so in Ferguson.
