U2 has cancelled its St Louis concert as more protests erupt in the Missouri city over the acquittal of a white cop who shot dead a black man in 2011.
Thirty-two people were arrested for the upheaval which saw at least ten officers injured including one who had his jaw broken and another who dislocated his shoulder on Friday night.
On Saturday, another 300 marched at West County Center Mall to carry on their demonstration for a second night. Macy's closed its doors in fear of the crowd and there was an increased police presence at the mall.
They are angry about the acquittal of white cop Jason Stockley who was cleared of murdering black drug dealer Anthony Smith in 2011 on Friday after years of anticipation.
Many believe Stockley planted a gun in Smith's car after he shot him six times following a high-speed car chase. The weapon had none of the dead man's DNA on it but Stockey's fingerprints were picked up.

Nah, that’s an M92 PAP with a Sig Brace. 100% legal.
“Burn this bitch down,”
I think that’s a pistol.
He is clearly an idiot for having the safety lever in the fire position, but those levers are very tight at first. If someone has a terribly low IQ it can be difficult to figure out how to loosen it up and use proper safety manipulations.
Safety concerns sounds like Bee Ess to me.
Methinks U2 pulling out of the concert in St. Louis is their way of joining the protest.
No, they are trying to avoid opening.

`Meet Me In St. Louie, Screwy’
When Louis came home to the flat,
He hung up his coat and his hat,
He gazed all around, but no wifey he found,
So he said “where can Flossie be at?”
A note on the table he spied,
He read it just once, then he cried.
It ran, “Louis dear, it’s too slow for for me hear,
So I think I will go for a ride. “
Chorus
“Meet me in St. Louie, Screwy,
Meet me at the fair,
Don’t tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there;
We will dance the Hoochee Koochee,
I will be your tootsie wootsie,
If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair. “
Or `Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana’ Different times.
Life seems like a Twilight Zone episode these days.
The protesters are singing “We Still haven’t found what we’re looking for.”
Bono singing “Where the streets are not safe..”
Huh? Riots in 1992 for Rodney king and when was st. Trayvon peeps burning down Florida?
U2’s ZOO T.V. DVD is one of my favorites!
They seem to Take swipes at the U.S.
I bumped into Bono and the Edge at the airport not long ago. I said “Not you two again.”
I see what You did there!
