“(CNN)Protesters angry over the acquittal of ex-police officer Jason Stockley, a white cop on trial for murder in the shooting death of a black man, were back in the streets of downtown St. Louis early Monday after demonstrations the previous night turned violent.
More than 80 people were arrested late Sunday as protesters attacked police, broke windows and flipped over trash cans, authorities said.
On Monday, protesters were locking arms on Market Street, a few blocks from the site of the previous night’s violence.
“Protesters were mostly silent,” said Bryan McClellan, who participated in the demonstration. “We want to achieve one goal — an end to the disparate killings of black citizens at the hands of police.”
It was the fourth day of protests, which began Friday after Stockley was acquitted in the killing of 24-year-old Anthony Lamar Smith. Though the Stockley incident happened almost three years before Officer Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, the unrest in Ferguson renewed interest in the case.”
