"The Missouri State Highway Patrol "will be directing the team that provides security" in Ferguson, Gov. Jay Nixon said today.
Ferguson has "looked a little bit more like a war zone, and it's not acceptable," he said.
The town is a "powder keg," the city's Police Chief Thomas Jackson said, ahead of yet more protests expected after the police shooting of African-American teenager Michael Brown."
