By Faith Karimi,

(CNN) -- Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon called for a special state legislative session to address "critical funding" needs for the National Guard and state police after violent protests in Ferguson this week.

In a late-night call with state legislative leaders Friday night, Nixon highlighted the session's urgency to ensure Guard members are paid on December 15, his office said in a statement.

"Time is of the essence," he said.

"It is vital that we act quickly so that we can fulfill our obligation to the men and women who are so bravely and capably serving their fellow citizens."

12. I want to know exactly what he and the police are going to use it for. They have more equipment

from the military than they will ever need. I want them to get more education that will help them to adjust their attitude. Unfortunately I doubt that is what Nixon has in mind.
