Two women are facing charges after protesters began to paint “Black Lives Matter” in the street near a suburban St. Louis police department that has been the site of protests since a white detective’s SUV struck a Black suspect earlier this month.
The department in the north St. Louis County town has been the site of several protests since the Black suspect was injured June 2. The detective, Joshua Smith, was fired and was charged last week with assault and armed criminal action.
Smith’s attorney said the man was struck accidentally.
