Yes, the American system of justice reveals its blind, unjust and dehumanising face once again, as an Officer Jason Stockley is acquitted of murdering Anthony Lamar Smith after:
- during the pursuit saying: “Gonna kill this [expletive], don’t you know it.”
- Shooting Smith 4 times, even though backup was on the way.
- Apparently planting a weapon in Smith’s car which didn’t have Smith’s DNA on it, only Stockley’s.
- Apparently planting a package containing drugs Smith’s car which again didn’t have Smith’s DNA on it, only Stockley’s.
All this has happened in relation to Anthony Lemar Smith fleeing an alleged drug offence.

Black people are definitely under attack in the USA. The judiciary and The Presidency cannot claim to value all human life if judgements like this can be passed. It’s an insult to justice and people’s intelligence, plain and simple.
