Comment on St. Louis police abuse protesters after white ex-cop is acquitted for killing a black man

St. Louis police abuse protesters after white ex-cop is acquitted for killing a black man

Protesters took to the streets in St. Louis over the weekend after a judge acquitted ex-police officer Jason Stockley of the murder of Anthony Lamar Smith. In December 2011, Stockley shot Smith five times after a car chase, which began over a suspected drug deal. Though he was caught on video saying that he intended to kill Smith (countering his claims that he feared for his life) and despite the fact that the gun in Smith’s car only had Stockley’s DNA on it, a judge still thought it was a good idea to let him go free.
