Why the hell did the police and national guard in Ferguson not shoot the first rioters and looters and stop this destruction cold?

The Ferguson police chief actually seemed PROUD that his men had not fired a shot! What ever became of LAW ENFORCEMENT? This was not it, this was being lily livered wimps in the face of mob violence. In an earlier day, looters will be shot on sight. What happened to that???

Update:

Just learned that the first national guard troops did not arrive at the riot until 1 AM. WTF??? I thought they had been called out by their so called governor days ago, so where the hell were they as the riots got underway? Total mismanagement!

    The Ferguson Police Department are proven racists, according to the emails investigated by the FBI.

    I don't think at the point any law enforcement agency is looking for more bad press than they already have.

    Law enforcement agencies need to be trusted to protect all it's citizens.
