Last Friday a St. Louis judge found former Police Officer Jason Stockley NOT GUILTY in the shooting death of Anthony Smith, a black suspected heroin dealer. Black Lives Matter has held protests daily since the verdict.

Protesters stormed a local hotel on Thursday and harassed patrons in their rooms and at the pool.

After a week of violent protests where over a dozen police officers were injured and several businesses were vandalized the St. Louis Aldermen sprung to action on Friday.

The St. Louis Alderman passed a resolution to honor Anthony Smith — the heroin dealer who tried to drive over Officer Stockley.

St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson then hugged the Smith family.
