St. Louis Rioting

Jason Stockley, a White cop was acquitted of killing Anthony Lamar Smith, a Black dude:

 

"Prosecutors said Stockley planted a gun in Smith's car after the shooting. The officer's DNA was on the weapon but Smith's wasn't. Dashcam video from Stockley's cruiser recorded him saying he was "going to kill this (expletive)." Less than a minute later, he shot Smith five times.

Stockley's lawyer dismissed the comment as "human emotions" during a dangerous pursuit. St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Wilson, who said prosecutors didn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Stockley murdered Smith, said the statement could be ambiguous.

Stockley, 36, who left the force in 2013 and moved to Houston, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after the verdict that he understands how the video looks bad, but insisted he did nothing wrong.
"I know everyone wants someone to blame, but I'm just not the guy," Stockley said.

Typically,  I would say...if you didn't run, you don't get shot. But this was pretty obvious cover-up somewhere. Or maybe the news I got. In response to this acquittal, there was Black Lives Matter march. I think this dude got way with murder. A few reasons...DNA, obviously, or worse...he projected the fact that he was going to kill a man. So...is that really fear?
This cop was headhunting, and weakens my argument that cops aren't out to fire their guns. I get people being upset, but the ones who are looting needs to be arrested. They are just daring for something bad to happen.
