It is interesting that people are looking at the victim here. The report did not say he was high on these drugs. It said they were in his system! It doesn’t matter because he was killed by a cop who put his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and was cuffed and not resisting. There is no excuse for that!

What's the excuse for this guy's death?
A retired St. Louis police captain who became a small-town police chief was killed by people who broke into a pawn shop after protests turned violent, authorities said. David Dorn, 77, was found dead on the sidewalk in front of Lee's Pawn & Jewelry about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
No arrests have been made.
The shooting and theft apparently was posted on Facebook Live, but the video has since been taken down
Former St. Louis County police Chief Tim Fitch knew Dorn for 30 years and said they became close friends when Dorn and his wife were leading the St. Louis police department's Explorers program for young people interested in law enforcement careers, while Fitch was leading the county's program.
"He was very dedicated to youth, especially disadvantaged youth," said Fitch, who led the St. Louis County Police Department from 2009 to 2014. "He wanted to see them succeed. He wanted to be a role model for those young men and women to go into law enforcement."
