http://ulstermanbooks.com/eric-holder-let-ferguson-burn-says-city-mayor/As millions across the nation watched the television images of a city streets being engulfed in flames, Ferguson city officials were wondering what had happened to the National Guard soldiers Missouri Governor Jay Nixon had already mobilized. And now that state’s Lt. Governor is pointing the finger at Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, who it is believed did not want images of National Guard soldiers being broadcast from Ferguson as it would reinforce the growing perception of an Obama administration spiraling out of control. Therefore, the safety of Ferguson was sacrificed in favor of the perception politics of the Obama White House.
(Millions of dollars of damage took place in Ferguson last night as rioters burned business buildings while the police force watched.)

Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder said the following regarding the National Guard’s odd absence from Ferguson:
“Here’s my question that the governor must answer,” Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder said today. “Is the reason that the national guard was not in there is because the Obama administration and the Holder Justice Department leaned on you to keep them out?”
Ferguson Mayor James Knowles had this to say:
“It’s my understanding that the commanders out on the street have requested this, and those calls have gone unheeded at this point . We need to have the governor step up, give us the resources that he’s promised from the beginning. He stated he would have a strong response, that the resources necessary would be provided. They have not been provided so far. We need that right now.”
Eric Holder was reportedly upset the Missouri Governor announced a State of Emergency days before the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision was announced, and adamant there would be no National Guard soldiers patrolling the streets of Ferguson. (A decision that in more “normal” time would be left to the governor to decide)
More off the record reports indicate Holder’s office made a number of angry calls to Governor Nixon expressing the administration’s displeasure at what they viewed to be a too strong response to the threat of rioting.
Therefore, on the night of the rioting the National Guard soldiers were nowhere to be found in Ferguson, and the city was left to burn, all courtesy of Eric Holder and the Obama White House.
