Governor Mike Kehoe of Missouri has issued an executive order in response to potential civil unrest in cities like Kansas City, Springfield, and St. Louis. The order recognizes citizens' rights to assemble peacefully while emphasizing the need for state intervention due to local jurisdictions' insufficient capacity to handle the situation. The declaration of an emergency invokes state resources to maintain the rule of law and ensure the safety of residents, visitors, and local businesses in these communities during periods of unrest.
The events occurring in Missouri's major cities have created conditions of distress that local jurisdictions cannot manage, necessitating state intervention to ensure public safety.
The rule of law must be upheld in Missouri’s cities, which requires state support to protect the citizens, their properties, and businesses during potential unrest.
