Missouri Governor Jay Nixon urged tolerance, respect and restraint on Monday, regardless of the grand jury decision on whether or not to indict the officer involved in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown this summer.

"Our shared hope and expectation is that regardless of the decision people on all sides show tolerance, mutual respect and restraint," Governor Nixon said.

He went on to say that the National Guard will be deployed to provide support roles and provide "security at critical facilities."
