1. I saw this too

@GovJayNixon just confirmed that the State Police & Federal Authorities are going to relieve St. Louis County PD of their duties here.

2. Lots of this on Twitter now: Nixon apparently got the message

The St. Louis County Police Department engaged in a police riot in Ferguson, Missouri last night, and they need to be pulled out of the situation immediately. They are incompetent and conflicted and have no idea what they're doing. They are operating as a violent militia. It's about goddamn time some elected official called off these idiots.

4. Think this may cause the militia types to stand down?

A very nasty and bloody fight on the streets may have just been averted. Now to tend to the matter of Officer Willman.
