An alderman in St. Louis, fed up with murders and violence in the northern part of the city, wants Missouri Gov. Mike Parson to send in the Missouri National Guard to restore order, KSDK reported.

“My blood is boiling. I’m not mad, I’m hurt. I’m saddened,” Ward 3 Alderman Brandon Bosley told the television station. “This is not normal. We are not in Afghanistan.”

Bosley said an incident Saturday was the tipping point. A man was shot twice in the face after a confrontation in an alley that began when the shooter would not move his car, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

“I’m done waiting,” Bosley told the newspaper. “Before it gets too bad, we need to do something measurable. Extra hands. Extra guns. Guns bigger than the ones on the street.”
