ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - A Missouri judge on Friday ruled a white former St. Louis police officer was not guilty of murder in the 2011 shooting of a black man, sending hundreds of protesters to the city's streets to voice their anger.
With the National Guard on standby in case of violence, authorities appealed to protesters to march peacefully in a state that has seen racially charged clashes in the past.
Jason Stockley, 36, was acquitted of first-degree murder for killing Anthony Lamar Smith, 24. The former policeman, who was arrested in May 2016, was accused of planting a gun in Smith's car but testified he acted in self-defense.
After the verdict, more than 500 protesters marched in downtown St. Louis, chanting "No justice, no peace" and "Shut it down." Some held "Black Lives Matter" signs.

Burn your neighborhood grocery stores and steal some shoes...for justice! Haha
“Justice” means what we like with leftist.
They’ve got nothing else to do, might as well riot.
Burn it down!
I’m sure the dead perp’s side of the story has been reported again and again. Now we need to hear the other side of the evidence.
I watched the raw dash-cam video and didn’t see a crime, much less murder.
Burn the s**t down!
What is the full story?
That was quick and well organized. You thought they’d already had a premonition of the verdict.
So, did he plant the gun or not?
It’s relevant.
They have been preparing for this scenario for weeks. They’ve been quite open about it, telling the judge that there would be trouble if he acquitted the officer involved. Even a group of black clergymen told him this. So, yes they were ready to roll.
If 0bama were in the White House right now he would be in front of the cameras inciting a riot as I type these words. That is exactly what 0bama did for Ferguson, MO.
Ignorant tools and fools. They fall for the hate bait every time. Politicians benefit from their rage as their own lives get worse. Then, when the truth comes out, no one gets prosecuted. Do these ignoramouses actually think that Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch did not WANT to get a conviction for the deaths of Freddit Grey, Trevon Martin, Michael Brown, or all of the others? Unlike BLM, they can’t make up facts, so these cases evaporate when the truth matters.
Everyone, please understand how this works.
Cop shoots black man AND it is clear that the Cop was at fault.
No Protest.
Cop shoots black man and there is a question regarding the cops actions.
Protest.
The protesters ONLY exploit these incidence’s when they can infer some grand cover-up by the man.
After talking to a black SEIU purple shirt at the gym, I viewed all “protests” differently. He described housing, medical care, transportation, logistics and pay structures. These “protests” are well organized and financed.
nope....
You left out cases of Heineken.
