US: St. Louis protesters extend demonstration over Anthony Lamar Smith murder

Protests in the US city of St. Louis turned violent for a third night following the acquittal of a white, former police officer over the shooting of a black motorist. Six years ago, police officer Jason Stockley shot and killed Anthony Lamar Smith after a car chase. Earlier this year, prosecutors charged Stockley, who is white, with first-degree murder, alleging he planted a gun in Smith's car. On Friday, Stockley was acquitted of the crime. At least 47 people have been arrested since Friday. Al Jazeera's Victoria Gatenby reports.
