ST. LOUIS Former St. Louis police officer Jason Stockley was found not guilty Friday of murdering a man while on duty.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Wilson's highly anticipated verdict found a white former St. Louis police officer not guilty of first-degree murder and amed criminal action in the December 2011 shooting death of a black drug suspect after a high-speed pursuit and crash.
Activists, with support from some of the city's black clergy, had pledged disruptive protests ahead of St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Wilson's verdict.

I have been planning to go with a group of friends to a restaurant just south of downtown this evening. But now that may change.
I'm in Kirkwood, a suburb of St Louis, and we had a raucous protest 2 nights ago over this trial. Even saw a big SUV plow through the crowd.
I would advise everyone to avoid DT St Louis, even the U2 concert tomorrow.
I’ve got my eye on a pair of Jordan Retro 5s, and a construction boot full of sand in my hand. Sundown can’t come soon enough!
I’ve been listening to 97.1 and Allman had a guy in the crowd; he said he asked people in the crowd what they did for a living. Many said “political consultant”. LOL
There’s a new sheriff in town! Wood shampoos for everybody!
From news reports
Protesters began gathering near the courthouse where the case was heard and were marching in the streets. Police have blocked off some streets. At one point, protesters headed toward an interstate ramp, but police blocked them from getting on..
I took a Greyhound cross country back in 1973. I had a layover stop at the St.Louis bus station. It was a dirty,scary place. I was there about 2 hours and saw two black cops give another black guy a beat down with batons. I was much relieved when I finally boarded my bus for Phoenix.
It's not an act.
Imagine that, a police officer defends himself against an African, career criminal, and is found not guilty for enforcing the law. Racism, I tell you. Haha. This of course, will be seen as a looting opportunity for the thieving crowd of Africans in the surrounding area. Gov Grietens has already called up the national guard. It is easy to anticipate the behavior of this crowd—it’s the culture man.
It’s actually more about stealing, open thievery, then it is about rioting.
Wondering who you claim isn’t stupid?
Protestors? The hand behind them?
I say they are dumber than dirt and if they want to go out and cause trouble, they will.
Looks like a crowd is gathering already. Freakin idiots
The last governor was a demrat and he supported the demrat voting Africans by allowing them to openly loot stores then burn them. More votes for the next demrat governor, but he lost to republican and former SEAL Eric Greitens who will not stand by for the rampant crimes.
Ans: the African culture
Yeah, right now there are just a bunch of people clogging up the streets downtown. Later, under cover of darkness, the real Thugs will come out with rocks, molotov cocktails, and other weapons. This party has been in the works for months.
Eric Greitens is not Jay Nixon. Violence might happen, but it won’t be tolerated.
The leaders of the rioters are who I’m talking about. Then again, just as in a football game, coaches can make the wrong decision when they misread their enemy.
It’s possible that from their perspecitve - in their bubble - a good riot will hurt Trump and the R’s. I guess we’ll find out.
FWIW, I argue with liberals a LOT on the internet and have for well over a decade. A lot of them are definitely NOT stupid. They just have a different world view than me.
I'm late to this story, but have read in several places that the pistol only had the cops DNA on it. If true, I find that very curious.
Those 4K screens are pretty sweet.
And at 100% off the sticker price....out the door!
BLM = Black Looters Matter
Are the 4 buses what they were brought in on, or are those city buses?
