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.
I'm getting comfy. Know what tonights entertainment is. Feels like it actually might happen. Hopefully theres bus loads of communist blackshirts waiting for nightfall.
Rather be gay than have an IQ lower than Koko the ape and belong to a race that in hundreds of thousands of years never managed to learn the basics of agriculture, tool making, or civilization...

Still got at least 6 hours until it really kicks off. They should pace themselves. Too much high intensity chimping and they'll be too tired to loot later.

That's the layman term, the technical term is "cultural reclamation by ethnic and racial minorities for the betterment of their communities"

Whites are killed by cops and by blacks far more disproportionately higher. It's too bad white lives don't (((matter))).

I wouldn't object if cops walked down the street shooting every nigger they see. I certainly don't condemn this cop, whether he was right or wrong.
