I just re-read this. Wow. "Cleansed"? What a racially charged, dangerous word to mean removed/eliminated.

Her colleagues need to toss her out. Her public comments are unprofessional and the Interstate demonstration is a threat to public safety.

:sigh: There is really not much I can say about this unusual elected official https://twitter.com/MariaChappelleN that is within TOS other than I find her behavior and her barrage of very public comments very disappointing and inflammatory. The term hate speech comes to mind.

Thanks to you popsicle for your continued posting of tweets, feeds and news regarding this ongoing situation.

I don't understand what she is saying. Why would anyone stand still for 3 hours if police had to use tear-gas?

IKR......no words.

Doesn't say much for her constituents.

And it says a lot about Nixon that he won't bow down to their level of terroristic threats just for a vote.

She's grandstanding for her constituents. She's giving them what they want.

Yes, but repeatedly excoriating Gov. Nixon, one of the few statewide elected Democrats, seems bizarre for anyone with future political aspirations.

Wait. Didn't she just complain about people being called animals??

And why does she want the Canine unit cleansed? Do they not wash their dogs regularly?

Because we DID have a discussion about not referring to any human being as an "animal", I'm assuming that statement cuts both ways in order to have a respectful productive dialogue, this Maria lady seems to be nothing but a vitriol spewing grandstanding showman(women).

And for all her twits (oh sorry tweets) I don't see one productive solution....just more demands without any productive course of action or actual solutions....things you expect from someone who talks like they have all the answers.

And if tear gas is so bad...why'd you subject yourself to it 3 TIMES! third times a charm? (incidentally having had to be tear gassed for the army, i can say its not a fun experience)

Ms. Chappelle-Nadal is right about Jay Nixon being a coward imo. He's been cowering ever since the blowback he received after describing the store robbery tape release as wrong and it's "casting aspersions" on MB.

CBS/Face the Nation: ""I think it had an incendiary effect," Nixon said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." "When you release pictures and you clearly are attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting, shot down in his own street, a young man, and at the same time you're releasing information...to tarnish him, then properly, there was a lot of folks that were concerned about that, and I do think it flamed it back up and has caused us to have to deal with some of that."

“We were certainly not happy with that being released, especially in the way that it was,” Nixon said. “It appeared to cast aspersions on a young man that was gunned down in the street. It made emotions raw.”

It's very sad. It seems all those agitating hope to benefit from Michael's death.
