FOR THE TL:DR CROWD - A white cop killed a black - Cop resigning wasn't enough so a criminal trail to appease - Bench trial verdict to be announced this PM - Protests /riots/ regardless of verdict
For everyone else... (Be aware that the stuff below is what I have pieced together this morning, I have not been following this at all - AND THE ANNOUNCED EARLY
PLAYERS Jason Shockley (36 - 31 at the time of shooting) - West Point Grad 2002 - Combat Plt Leader 15 month Iraq - Bronze Star in Iraq - Wounded in combat - Medically discharged - Joined PD in 2007 Anthony Lamar Smith (24) - There is very little about him that I could find - you would think that at least his criminal history would be spelled out better than what I have found - 2009 plead guilty to weapons charges and drugs and sentenced to 5 years prison - 2010 plead guilty to stealing $1200 navigation system out of a car - unlawful use of a weapon, stealing, drug possession and driving with a revoked license. He was on probation at the time of his death for a stealing case stemming from an incident in Ferguson in 2010. - had marijuana in his system at the time of his death
TIMELINE 2011 12/20/11 - St. Louis Cop Jason Shockley and partner Brian Bianchi witness a possible drug transaction - They attempt to arrest Anthony Lamar Smith who flees - Shockley discharges his department issued Beretta unclear if Smith was hit at this point - After a 3 mile, 87 mph, chase they ram Smith's car - Shockley shoots Smith with his Beretta 5 times after he says Smith reached for something in the car - Smith DRT - Police recover a revolver and heroin in Smith's vehicle
2012 US Attorney declines to prosecute Shockley
2013 - Smith's family wins $900k in lawsuit settlement - Shockley suspended for 30 days 08/16/13 - Shockley resigns
2016 05/16/16 - Shockley charged with 1st degree murder and arrested by US Marshals & held without bail 05/31/16 - Shockley released on $1 million bail - $100k put up by St. Louis Police Officers’ Association
2017 08/01/17 - Bench trial begins
ALLEGED SHENANIGANS AND OTHER INFO - Shockley had a personal AK47 that he carried when he approached Smith's car before the chase - Allegations that the revolver recovered from Smith's vehicle was planted by Shockley - Shockley was heard during pursuit stating that he was "going to kill this motherfucker, don't you know it" - As Smith’s car was “slowing to a stop,” Stockley told Bianchi to “hit him right now,” - After shooting Smith Shockley returns to his car and rummages through a duffel bag before the camera stops, Shockley states he was getting items to treat Smith's injuries - Police DNA test shows Shockley's DNA on the revolver but not Smith's and Smith's DNA on the heroin - Smith's fiancee states that she was on the phone with Smith at the time of the shooting and he was begging for his life when shot - “Just because someone carries a gun for their own protection doesn’t make them a bad person,” she said. “Anthony was not a violent person. None of his convictions are for violent crimes. She found it strange that police said he had a revolver, not a higher-capacity semi-automatic pistol that is more common on the street. “Anthony didn’t have a gun with him that day, and if he had a gun, it wouldn’t be that revolver,” she said. “That’s just not a gun that any young guy is going to carry.” - Fiancee claimed an OnStar recording has Smith saying, “Don’t shoot.” But Bruntrager said that Smith’s voice is inaudible. - Shockley's partner Bianchi received immunity from prosecution but lost the immunity (unsure how/why) - Bianchi told investigators that he had seen a gun on the front seat of Smith’s car at Church’s and had warned Stockley about it.
Nathaniel Bennett
- In 2013 the PD paid $60k to settle a lawsuit by a 17 year old who alleged Shockley and 2 other officers broke her arm in 2010. This suit alleged that the PD erred in putting Stockley, a combat veteran, on the street after the Army discharged him for post-traumatic stress disorder
Second, I'm downtown at work right now in STL. I heard some sirens and we're taking precautions, but I don't think it'll get violent till nightfall.
Easton Perry
I'm downtown STL right now; over last hour-and-half crowd has grown from about 12 to more than 100; crowd is marching through streets; cops have closed major intersection in front of courthouse; protesters have tried to get on highway, but cops turned them back at ramp; crowd growing, now wandering through streets. Standing by.
Justin Price
Any dank memes of this new Obamas Son who dindu nuffi
Anthony Smith
What up STL bro; nice digits. Agree with you about it not getting out-of-hand until nightfall. You got a comfy spot to observe the happenings? Let's watch the world burn together.
Cop says imma kill that nigger and plants a gun at the crime scene
nothing but a scumbag with a badge
Christopher Price
Not in a bastion of whiteness like Jeffco, but just out enough to observe. Still in city, so should be interesting. Stay safe user.
Nicholas Murphy
But why resign?
Camden Walker
Any evidence for that? Everything I've read points to an experienced cop shooting a guy who had already committed crimes.
Nicholas James
comfy af
Hunter Perez
89 degrees today.
Ryan Parker
That fun thing is fishy, I've been watching the Making a murderer series and it has me question cops a bit more than I used to.
Carson Hernandez
are you reading from isuckoffthepolice.com or something? Its been known for a long time. Had they tried this guy for tampering he would have been convicted but they fucked up/gave him a break with a murder charge knowing they had no case
at least admit your pro police bias
Justin Thomas
*gun, fucking autocorrect

This is the face of someone who wants to start a race war. Look at those psychotic eyes.
Kayden Bailey
Here is a video of dashcams and a bystander video put together. youtube.com/watch?v=FmJk3V8Dsck Hard to tell if he planted a gun, doesn't seem like it to me.
Angel Taylor
What did he do wrong though?
Cooper Brooks
watching; who dis?
Liam Johnson
at 10:00Am central time 3 Blackhawk helicopters were flying over the area in a loose formation - mission unknown at this time.
Thomas Gomez
Nice sources
Blake Campbell
i dont have a problem with people willing to admit they hate blacks and wanna see them die.
If your a supremacist act like it
What i dont like is the on the fence facebook faggots who go around looking for excuses to gobble the police
cops killed the guy and planted a gun and thats fact
Charles Barnes
white american war hero shoots drug dealing nigger who has never accomplished anything in his life. niggers and sjw protest on the streets. sometimes i hate this timeline tbqhwyf
Jacob Rodriguez
Guess he didn't, because that's what the judge found.
James Morales
Can you admit your pro criminal bias?
Noah Jones
Prepare
Justin Peterson
The real question is, why would (((they))) have this verdict on a Friday? Men thinks for maximum happening potential. On a work weekday, like a Tuesday, the potential for violence and public discourse would have been reduced by over half, scaling down as the week drags on.
Landon Parker
>gadsen flag
praises the most odious rancid fruit of the state
Luke Williams
these people are so stupid they don't charge the officer with something they can win. Should have done second degree murder and not greedily gone with 1st degree. Big mistake.
Bentley Richardson
Was that AK pistol and drum mag standard issue?
Jaxon Foster
Temp will influence events. Should be hotter after lunch.
Grayson King
Yeah what's up with him having that?
Evan Nelson
i am unabashedly against the police
William Smith
>Shockley
destined to be a badass since day 1
Blake Ramirez
Honesty, so far so good. Criminal record?
Ryan Allen
I'm flying into St Louis tonight for a business trip, how fucked am I?
Jayden Hernandez
you really think that was a mistake?
This was the DA trying to win on both fronts. keep the cops happy and keep hands clean by saying well i charged him HURDUR
Asher Price
He's right, though. You haven't given a single source.
Logan Davis
Make sure to stay on the East side of the city for maximum safety.
Julian Campbell
50/50 chance of survival.
Logan Jenkins
Should be fine; just stay away from downtown, Ferguson and off public transport. Not really sure what to expect, but airport and county are typically secure.
Isaac Cruz
Riots won't start till nighttime. But it is the start of the weekend so it ought to be good.
Landon Harris
Maybe there is hope for Germany yet.
Brody Brown
Nah, I put his odds at 30/70 with the majority in the "not surviving" sphere. In fact 90% of St. Louis will die this evening.
Jaxson Howard
It's the middle of a workday, how do these people find time to walk around in the street?
Isaiah Allen
Good eye
Daniel Nguyen
no sir but i've spent thousands on silly code violations
cops are nothing but revenue collectors for the state. Only thing protecting me from violence is my own arms.
Remember cops dont show up until after your sister gets raped by the black dude. Almost everything they do is enforcing shitty code violations that are completely victimless
Cooper Brown
SLIDE THREAD TO DISTRACT FROM THE BITCOIN ROCKET LAUNCH RIGHT NOW!!!

Megafucked. Nigville is directly north of the Airport. Hope you're staying west of the Missouri

Case has been going on for fucking years and you can google

Owen Smith
This, though it's worth mentioning Stockley was also charged and found not guilty of "Armed Criminal Action."
Jacob Ortiz
...
Carson Nguyen
>Remember cops dont show up until after your sister gets raped by the black dude. That I will not necessarily argue with. You are indeed better off being armed on your own until they do arrive; it is quite infantile to believe they can ever necessarily get to the scene in time.
Wyatt Russell
fuk off; this is a developing situation; legit happening crypto-currencies are the future though; not a happening.
Jason Butler
Cat 2?
Nicholas Anderson
Will you fuk off; this is a happening thread; either watch the world burn with us or fuk right on off.
William Hall
You'd rather suck a nigger's cock?
The drug dealing nigger is the scumbag. Quit defending criminals.
James Reyes
Well I'm leaving on Sunday to go to KC. Hopefully I can survive until then.
Ethan Myers
>g-g-google it! Checkmate, racists!
Hudson Torres
I'm not a bootlicker, but this dumb nigger sealed his fate the moment he tried to run down two cops at the beginning of the video. From that point onwards, he had demonstrated lethal intent against them and they were in the clear to assume that every movement that he made from there on out also carried lethal intent.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Cameron Mitchell
Niggers are nocturnal.
Aiden Sanders
wtf did you post this for?
Grayson Cruz
Was category 2 around 9:00 am, evolving into Cat 3 right now. First arrest just made; this will surely reach 3 this evening and over weekend. Stand by.
Jace Robinson
>Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Lol that's great user, I'm gonna use that line from now on
Gabriel Walker
I better stock up on popcorn and beer then.
Logan Perez
That honestly made me want to leave EMS and become a cop, desu.
But I don't, because I know I'd be one of the bad ones.
Carson Kelly
It's a shame for white business owners but on the other hand they deserve a bit of the blame for setting up shop near such multitudes of niggers.
Levi Nelson
Crowd appears to be at least half white millennials (mostly fat) with phones out.
Brandon Green
>Nancy Reagan
Im sure its the niggers and not shitty single mothers and over prescribed opiates that are flooding Upper Whitelandia with Heroin.
Get your house in order whiteman
Michael Morris
It's very common among EMS/Fire/Police personnel, who see this sort of suicidal stupidity all the time.
Dominic White
>A white cop killed a black >- Cop resigning wasn't enough so a criminal trail to appease
So if I murder someone simply taking me out of a situation where it is bound to happen again is enough? Why do people spend their lives in prison for murder.
Seems like if you are a killer the best place for you to be is in a position where you are supposed to protect lives pretty ironic.
Jacob Morris
>admit your pro police you can be anti drug dealer and not be pro police. Another nigger killed doing nigger shit, He deserved to die the moment he tried to kill police with his car.
Austin Harris
>Shockley states he was getting items to treat Smith's injuries
Do cops ever attempt to treat the people they've shot? In the videos I've seen, they cuff the body and leave 'em to bleed while they radio for an ambulance.
Dominic Hernandez
>"What we gon' do?" >"Shut it down!"
Ryan Reyes
>Smith's family wins $900k in lawsuit settlement This pisses me off, those people shouldn't get dime one of taxpayer money because some criminal punk got his ass shot
Carson Campbell
So what are you left with? Poorly trained code enforces with the potential to kill someone over something as trivial as a license plate bulb being out
black community has problems i grant you that but to hold cops up as some paragon of society is sloppy thinking
Society can function just fine with an armed citizenry no police and a smaller state
Blake Robinson
>Implying it isn't always the weekend for niggers.
