Ex-cop Jason Stockley found not guilty in black man’s death
A St. Louis judge on Friday found former police officer Jason Stockley not guilty of first-degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of black motorist Anthony Lamar Smith.
“This Court, in conscience, cannot say that the State has proven every element of murder beyond a reasonable doubt, or that the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense,” St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Wilson wrote in his ruling.
What the CNN article seems to lack is…this choice bit of justification.

Keep in mind too, this asshole said, on dashcam, he was going to kill Smith.
There’s literally nothing a cop can’t get away with.
