It seems Jay Nixon, the Democratic Governor of Missouri, doesn’t think too much of that whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing and has decided instead to call for a “vigourous prosecution” of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Not a vigorous investigation, mind you, but a vigorous prosecution. In other words, to hell with the evidence and the mitigating circumstances. Naturally, it doesn’t matter that over a dozen witnesses have corroborated Wilson’s side of the story.
Here’s the video:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
As Twitchy noted, it didn’t go over too well:
@GovJayNixon do everyone a favor and shut up.

@GovJayNixon gather all the facts you moron…

But facts don’t matter to a growing number of people who no doubt think Michael Brown had just come up with a cure for cancer when the mean old white police officer gunned him down for no reason at all.
@GovJayNixon @michaelcalhoun You are NOT the Grand Jury

No, he’s not. But he is a Democrat governor seeking to mollify his low-information base who probably know nothing about the idea of being innocent until proven guilty.
@GovJayNixon pffft…what about the business owners that are being looted by the thugs? Great business environment

Stalin, Democrats — what’s the difference? Besides native language, of course.

The spelling’s off, but this person has the current liberal mob mindset figured out pretty well.
C'mon Jay, wouldn't it be better for everyone (except #DarrenWilson) to just publicly hang the cop and be done? @GovJayNixon #Ferguson

Please…Â Don’t give them any ideas…
@GovJayNixon as far as I can tell you just hurt the officers chances for a fair due process, you unbelievable dipshit.
