Protesters took to the streets of St. Louis after former police Officer Jason Stockley was acquitted. Stockley fatally shot 24-year-old Anthony Lamar Smith in 2011 following a police chase after a suspected drug deal. Weekend demonstrations were mostly peaceful, according to St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson. However, more than 80 arrests were made after some agitators confronted police.
