'White Silence Is Violence' Protest Held Near Billy Joel Concert in St Louis

Hundreds of mostly white protesters gathered near the Busch Stadium, St Louis, where Billy Joel was playing, on September 21, to protest the acquittal of a white police officer who had shot and killed a black man in 2011.

Protests began on September 15, after a judge ruled former St Louis Police Officer Jason Stockley was not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Anthony Lamar Smith. Credit: Twitter/Buka Meri via Storyful
