St. Louis mayor addresses anxious city before Stockley verdict

ST. LOUIS – The mayor of St. Louis says the city is “on edge” as it awaits a ruling in the first-degree murder trial of former police officer Jason Stockley, in part because of a troubled history of justice in St. Louis and nationwide.

Stockley is accused of fatally shooting Anthony Lamar Smith in 2011. The case was heard last month but it’s unclear when Judge Timothy Wilson will rule.

Activists have threatened civil disobedience if Stockley, who is white, is acquitted in the death of the black suspect.

Imagine a group of White people going out there and stating there will be hell to pay if a Black officer gets off.

It wouldn’t be tolerated for ten minutes.

[city is “on edge”]

The whole city is on that guy from U2? That seems impossible. The pressure must be incredible.

I am so happy that I moved out of St. Louis. Still going downhill, accelerating.

“if Stockley, who is white, is acquitted in the death of the black suspect.”

The money quote.

This is a story that would not even be published if the situation was reversed—there would be no faux outrage, no “demands”, no screams of “racism”, and no threats of “burn it all down” if the verdict was not deemed acceptable.

“Activists have threatened civil disobedience”

The word is “riots”

What about the Muzzie cop in Minneapolis? Will Australia attack us if he’s acquitted?

One thing for sure is that we do not have an Eric Holder who really was a joke as the U.S. Attorney General.

Eric Holder classified the rap sheet on Saint Michael Brown when the Saint tried to kill the police officer. The blacks did what they do best and that is to riot and burn and literally destroy the city of Ferguson, Missouri. It will literally take years to rebuild Ferguson since no one wants to bring their businesses to Ferguson anymore. They rioters even burned black owned businesses in Ferguson.

The Rap sheet was never given to the press and anyone else because the Eric Holder classified the rap sheet. Eric Holder was given orders by that America Hating, Marxist, Imposter POTUS Obama. We are pretty sure that Holder got the orders from that piece of work Obama.

They even brought folks from outside of St. Louis to protest and riot.

Not one single can of tear gaa or pepper spray was directed at these rioters in Ferguson, Missouri. Probably on orders again from that American Hating piece of work Obama.

The mayor of St. Louis was a rat that did not run for office and probably will never again run for office.

Miss McCaskill who is a senator from Missouri must be quaking in her boots if they riot, since this will be the nail on her coffin. She will be toast.

She is up for reelection in 2018.

This is an odd story. Did the cop plant the gun, or did the heroin dealer draw it? The city already settled a civil suit in favor of the drug dealer’s daughter, but they sealed all the records of that. What’s going on? (Not that is matters to the BLMers, Antifatards, or BAMNers)

No, but a key witness contradicted what the cop said in his statement.

That woman was shot in cold blood. The cop should fry and his remains fed to wild hogs.
