Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has taken steps to activate the Missouri National Guard as St. Louis waits on a knife’s edge for the verdict in the Jason Stockley police shooting case.
“As governor, I am committed to protecting everyone’s constitutional right to protest peacefully while also protecting people’s lives, homes, and communities. Taking the steps to put the Missouri National Guard on standby is a necessary precaution,” Greitens said in a statement.
