Intro: 
Chaos. That's how Ferguson Mayor James Knowles described communications with the Governor's office the night of the grand jury's decision.
RunTime:  0:32
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: Ferguson Mayor Jason Knowles hasn't heard from Governor Jay Nixon since September and on the night of the decision by a St. Louis County grand jury, he was unable to get through to Nixon.

Knowles was so desperate to get through to Nixon's office that he contacted Senator Claire McCaskill, Attorney General Chris Koster and State Treasurer Clint Zweifel hoping they could find Nixon.

However, Knowles says none of them could get through to the Governor as Ferguson and North St. Louis County burned.
