Activist says military commanders told to prepare for riots in Ferguson

Shaun King, a self-described activist, Ferguson, Mo., mainstay and now DailyKos writer, purports that military commanders are preparing for war against protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis very soon. Bring your own grain of salt before proceeding.
3 days ago, I learned some incredibly DISTURBING information. A young man in the military in Missouri, speaking confidentially, said this…
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
He said that his unit, in a meeting with military commanders, was told they needed to prepare for riots in Ferguson & St. Louis very soon.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
He said that the commanders, very specifically communicated that they did not expect Darren Wilson to be indicted & it could come by Oct 15.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
The young man also communicated that they had been doing early morning drills to prepare for riots on how to shut them down quickly.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
When I contacted the Missouri National Guard & the University of Missouri ROTC, they stonewalled, saying no comment, & passed me to PR.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Finally, in half a dozen interviews with men & women in Ferguson & beyond, eyewitnesses confirmed they've seen late night military drills.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Furthermore, in a private meeting, a source confirmed plans being discussed to shut down St. Louis airports in the case of riots.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Speaking confidentially, an officer communicated that they received an order that they could NOT go on leave because of what is coming soon.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Now, speaking today with a very respected activist on the ground about what I learned about the Missouri National Guard training for riots..
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
The activist said leaders on the ground are COMPLETELY sure that a deliberate & organized attempt to destabilize protestors is underway.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
These plans include continually demolishing the camps set up by @lostvoices14
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
These plans include doubling and tripling (and more) the bail amounts of protestors to discourage them from protesting any more.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
A respected activist said three different protestors have had police COME TO THEIR HOME to intimidate them.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Now, as we see our sisters and brothers forced to wear orange jumpsuits, it's clear they are stepping up their efforts to crush dissent.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Now, let me go deeper. All the way.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Scuba gear in place.
This honestly goes all the way to President Obama, the Democratic Party, presidential aspirations, and much more.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Until now, understand that @GovJayNixon looked in the mirror and thought he was looking at a future candidate for President.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
. @TheDemocrats have all but refused to speak out against @GovJayNixon because he is a national leader in their party.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Our President has had to ride a very thin line in how he mentions @GovJayNixon because he is the Governor in an essential swing state.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Now, pushing deeper. @GovJayNixon is VERY VERY CLOSE with @RoordaJ – a state congressman. Let me tell you how that's relevant.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Not only is @RoordaJ behind the Darren Wilson fundraiser, he's on the State Public Safety Commission for the Missouri House.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Follow me. When I got to the end of my rope investigating the preparations for the National Guard, guess who they finally referred me to??
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
The Missouri National Guard referred me to the Missouri Public Safety board.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
How in the world is @roordaj – who was FIRED as a police officer for repeated misconduct & the falsification of reports now a State Rep?
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Listen, I need you to open your eyes and understand that the FIX is on. @Milbank called out weeks ago in the post @ http://t.co/sorUWAkCMy
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
What I was trying to tell you in this article is that the coverup started just minutes after Mike Brown was killed http://t.co/l3cvjOuK6S
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
And what I am trying to tell you now, is that insiders in the government are making plans for riots because they know justice is unlikely.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Are you tracking with me? Do you see what has happened. SIX PEOPLE saw Mike Brown killed in cold blood. A grand jury wasn't even required.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
And they want to lock up and embarrass our people and take every penny that's been donated and leave Darren Wilson free.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
What they fail to see is that when they put orange jumpsuits on our peaceful protestors, they aren't squashing the movement but FUELING IT.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Ask @GovJayNixon to deny his deep relationship w/ @RoordaJ . Ask him about him being fired for police misconduct & supporting Darren Wilson.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Ask @GovJayNixon if young members of the military who want no part of what he's planning are lying when they say they are doing riot prep.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Ask the men/women throughout St. Louis who are seeing loads of soldiers travel on trains all around the metro area if their eyes are lying.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
I'm telling you, if Darren Wilson is not indicted, this won't be a St. Louis problem, but an AMERICAN problem in every major city in the US.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
I'm done. WAKE UP my people. We are in the midst of grave injustice. Don't be lulled into not caring. Inaction & silence supports injustice.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) October 3, 2014
Damn, @ShaunKing is such an inspiration and integral part of this movement. I'm grateful to be fighting alongside him.
— Ciara M. Taylor (@KingCiDot) October 3, 2014
Every last one of you should be following @ShaunKing and his unparalleled journalism in the face of the modern American police state.
— The Coquette (@coketweet) October 3, 2014
. @ShaunKing's updates about Ferguson right now are harrowing #ff seriously. follow him
— Alexander London (@ca_london) October 3, 2014
@ShaunKing I would be so proud to wear that orange, shoulder to shoulder with these heroes.

Not everyone is a fan of King’s “reporting.”
@ShaunKing do you have sources on this or is it just your inference?
— Timothy Y. Fong (@tyfong919) October 3, 2014
@ShaunKing You better have good facts and data to back this one up. All the way to Obama? Map it out, or you just lost ALL credibility.
— Silver Willow (@forestcrone) October 3, 2014
@ShaunKing You are a joke. Fuck you!
— Maritza Solito (@maritzasolito) October 3, 2014
Shaun, you're a race-hustling piece of shit. @larrich @Chris_1791 @ShaunKing @YourAnonNews

.@ShaunKing Now this fake pastor, race hustler, liar is making threats if he doesn't get his way. Terrorist threats pic.twitter.com/T3maAKAgqY
— Chris (@Chris_1791) October 3, 2014
@ShaunKing Time and again you try to re-direct the rage over this towards the President. Why are you doing this?
— TheObamaDiary.com (@TheObamaDiary) October 3, 2014
@ShaunKing @RoordaJ I want someone to convince those kids to cancel #FergusonOctober. Regroup, redirect, stay alive. Stay out of jail. PLAN
