A retired black police captain was murdered by looters outside a pawn shop in St. Louis in the early morning hours on Tuesday, when he went to check on the business as violent protests in the city and across the U.S. continue to rage following the death of George Floyd.
What are the details?
David Dorn, 77, was shot in the torso by looters outside Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry store around 2:30 a.m., according to KMOV-TV.
He was left to die on the sidewalk, and an apparent witness took video of Dorn struggling after he was shot. The footage was broadcast over Facebook Live, but has since been removed from the platform. TheBlaze has viewed the clip.
The voice of a person can be heard on the video repeatedly telling Dorn, “stay with me, stay with me,” and screaming at the alleged perpetrators that they had just murdered “somebody’s granddaddy…over some TV’s.” The witness also yelled, “You killed this man over some TVs!”
Dorn was pronounced dead at the scene when officers found him. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “police have made no arrests and said they have no suspects.”
The newspaper noted that Dorn served for 38 years as an officer for the St. Louis Police Department and retired as a captain in 2007. He then served as as the chief of police for the small town of Moline Acres, Missouri.
Because of his extensive background in law enforcement and his friendship with the owner, Dorn would check on Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry whenever its alarm went off. That is why he was at the business on Tuesday morning, when he tried to stop the looters.
KSDK-TV reported that “flowers and a candle were placed outside the store Tuesday next to a sign that read, “Y’all killed a black man because ‘they’ killed a black man??? Rest in peace.”
Dorn’s widow, Ann, is a sergeant with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

His death is= as bad as Floyd & by damn looters 2 boot.
Damn.
See one sided media bias, Pro Floyd BUT not this retired cop.
Its just wrong
The media is so CORRUPT now that they should be turned off forever.
Another Black on Black crime and in some cities it’s standard operating procedure.
This was worse. Mr. Floyd died resisting arrest. This man died helping a friend.
They fact that there breaking the law dissent matter there nothing but scum and there giving Baka is the bad name how can whites trust blacks when they kill there own
Biden wants to remove your weapons so that your children and wife can be raped and murdered !
The only thing that biden knows that works is his asshole because he sees it every time he looks in the mirror as it’s right below his nose.
Maybe it’s time to allow open carry and expand the Castle Doctrine. Law enforcement is stretched so thin that there s no way to protect the public. This man should have been able to defend himself against thugs using this lame excuse to steal good from businesses.
Wait a minute, I thought that Black Lives Mattered. So I guess that this guy wasn’t Black Enough. When you break into a store to loot, set fire to a business, police car, or a home you have in effect lost any and all rights, this is no longer Freedom of Speech. If you happen to try to do this to any of My Property you have in fact signed your own Death Certificate.
What happened to Mr. Floyd was wrong on many levels and all of the police officers have been arrested and are being charged, but Mr. Floyd was by no means an angle. I just watched part of Mr. Floyd’s funeral on TV and people were saying all kinds of nice things about him. How he was a loving brother, and father to his daughter, which he may have been, but he was no angle. He was put in handcuffs because he was trying to pass a bad check, this is called a Criminal Act. If he had not done this he would not have been arrested and he would have not been killed. This of course does not diminish his senseless murder, but he did put himself in this situation.
So far I have not heard any of the networks talking about the senseless murders and shooting of the police officers that are out there trying to protect the property and lives of our citizens. Most if not all of these police officers had families, they had loved ones who are now crying over the loss of their father, husband, wife, or child. Where is the media? When do these families get their justice?
I would like to agree with the person that spoke of the bad check that the deceased was trying to cash. That put him in the police eyes and the attempted arrest. The press at times will not print the
truth if it was in front of them. I think it is tragic that he had to lose his life but he was a volunteer.
