In response to Gov. Jay Nixon’s call for calm, Michael Brown’s family attorneys took to the steps of the St. Louis County Courthouse on Thursday to say the governor should also be warning the police. “Law enforcement should have been equally condemned by the governor for this conduct at the same time he was admonishing the demonstrators. A strong message of zero tolerance should have been conveyed to all,” attorneys for the family said. A decision by a grand jury about the shooting death at the hands of police officer Darren Wilson is expected at the end of November. Nixon had told the press that he hopes there is calm, as that will determine how law enforcement responds, and that the Missouri National Guard will be “available if we determine it is necessary.”
