The video is horrific. David Dorn, a retired police captain in St. Louis, is lying on the sidewalk, dead or dying, blood everywhere, after he was shot by looters ransacking a local pawn shop. The establishment was owned by a friend. Dorn worked there as well and arrived at the shop when the alarms were triggered. His murder was captured on Facebook Live. The St. Louis Police Department released the surveillance footage from inside the pawnshop showing multiple persons of interest in the murder of Dorn. It led to the arrest of Stephan Cannon, who has been charged with first-degree murder (via St. Louis Post-Dispatch):

Charges have been filed against a 24-year-old man who police believe fatally shot retired St. Louis police Capt. David Dorn, 77, on the sidewalk outside Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry early Tuesday morning.
Stephan Cannon, 24, of Glasgow Village, has been charged with first-degree murder. He is being held without bond.
As downtown St. Louis descended into violence and chaos Monday night into Tuesday morning, Dorn, also a retired municipal police chief, attempted to protect the pawn shop from looting. He was shot multiple times, and his killing was broadcast on Facebook Live.
According to a police probable cause statement, Cannon was seen on surveillance footage pulling up and entering the store with others, and then stealing several televisions. Once Dorn arrived at the store, Cannon walked toward the street corner with a gun in his hand.

After Dorn fell to the ground, Cannon approached the entrance to the store, according to the police statement. A witness told police that someone told everyone in the store that they could leave, and looters fled from the back entrance.
A stolen television was later found where Cannon was arrested. He admitted to police that he changed his hair and appearance once he saw his image being distributed to the public.

Dorn retired from the St. Louis Police Department in 2007 after 38 years on the job. He rose from rookie patrol officer in 1969 to captain. He was the deputy commander of the Bureau of Patrol Support, which oversees traffic and mounted patrols, commercial vehicles and the tactical unit.
When he retired, Dorn then became police chief in Moline Acres.
Another layer of tragedy is added to this story since Dorn’s name will largely go unnoticed by the media. He’s a cop. He can’t be honored by the liberal media which has defended or excused the rampant looting and destruction across America’s cities. Why? Well, because Trump is in office and they will defend anyone or any issue that could be used to be weaponized against him. But even leaving that out, defending the rioting, which led to the death of a black former police captain just kills the narrative. It makes them defend the police. It makes them reverse course on the looting. That can’t happen.
That black life didn’t matter.
Some are more equal than others, I guess.
Is he out on no bail yet? Or fear if he’s in jail he may contract CV19?
Black Live Matter?
A lot of black lives don’t seem to matter
Blacks killed by blacks 93% of blacks murdered
Blacks killed by blacks daily in Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit
Black cops killed by blacks or white rioters
Black babies killed by the millions
And there are blacks who are more worried about “white supremacy “?
Now this steaming POS will be given due process of law costing more than he can ever be wroth and taking years of smarmy appeals. In a just world he would be summarily executed today after a quick trial showing the video.
What a sickening excuse for a person.
Earth to the conservative media: You’re not so popular that you can afford to demand people disable their ad-blocker(s).
Local paper shoved this story to the bottom. When is his funeral? Oh, sorry, city and county are on lockdown. This bastard will be out of jail before any funeral for his victim.
I just knew the murderer was a .... Gerr
The DNC is as guilty as he is.
How ironic.
This will never make the evening news, but those BLACK looters (aka “protestors”) killed David Dorn at the pawn shop on . . .
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DRIVE!!!
So where is the f*****g protests for him???
Gee, you think we’ll get to see any interviews with Captain Dorn’s family? It’d be interesting hear what they think of BLM and the “largely peaceful” protests.
Black on Black crime.....endless.
This is what I don’t understand about the MSM. Here they have a real story that solves a mystery that most people want an answer to, yet they are too absorbed to print it. When you have 12% of the population responsible for 52% of all murders, that subgroup has a problem. And don’t even try to sell me that “down-trodden” bullshit. Check the income and crime statistics and the distribution remains almost the same. Blacks have a problem and they need to address that from the inside, starting with the breakdown of the black family unit.
I hope he is (hell) pain every night before he tries to sleep!
I smell a rat...why does this white KKK member look like a black man!!!!
I hope his parents turned him in. Not sure it matters who did it, but I always like it when parents turn in their criminal children. It becomes a “feel good” story.
Where and when are the marches?????
