Pastor Reinforces “Disruption, Not Destruction” in the Wake of the Stockley Verdict

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Ashley Jost reports that the Rev. Clinton Stancil of Wayman AME Church in St. Louis is an outspoken protester of Friday’s acquittal of former police officer Jason Stockley, who shot and killed Anthony Lamar Smith in 2011. Jost writes, “On Friday night, the Rev. Clinton Stancil walked with his arms locked with fellow clergy and protesters in the Central West End.” Stancil said, “We are not about destruction, we are about disruption. Any other message you hear is not our message.”
