The reporter, Dan Gray, called the situation “scary.”
According to FOX2now.com, the protesters were “angry, in his face and yelling.” One protester in specific reportedly singled out Gray, hounding him for reporting black-on-black crime for a long time but, “didn’t do anything.”
Protests in St. Louis occurred Friday after Jason Stockley, a white police officer, was found not guilty of shooting Anthony Lamar Smith, a black male.
