These are the people who have usually suffered injustices along the way. When someone gets involved in drug usage things usually just get worse unless something happens where they can turn their life around. This type of generalization as the same as people saying all cops are violent or all old people are a certain way. Each person needs to be seen as an individual.

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."

They have also committed crimes along the way in hugely disproportionate numbers. How can incarceration rates be racist if they reflect the ACTUAL crime rates? - Conservative Review

Apparently a former armed robber and ex con who was turning over a new leaf by using fentanyl and meth while passing out counterfeit twenties.

Well said. I agree.

The aggravated robbery for which he was imprisoned for five years is troubling, at least to me, although fortunately the victim was not shot. He moved to Minneapolis to get a fresh start in 2007.

Well he might not of been a model citizen of Texas but if he was that bad why did our legal system let him out of prison, instead of strangling him, that wasn’t right! I think we should be pointing a finger at the court system. There was no rioting, fires or looting going on when he was in prison.

Why is that?

Likewise can be said in reverse. Do you consider Derek Chauvin a poster boy for model law enforcers ? Let's ask his wife that question.

What we know is that he was a criminal committing another criminal act using counterfeit money who would have never come in contact with the police if he was a law abiding citizen. The media needs to quit making this guy look like good person who wan an upstanding citizen. Should he have been murdered, absolutely not. Should he have obeyed the law, absolutely.

[mflasch]

I guess it just goes to prove that "Some Black Lives Matter." It is absolutely disgusting that we don't see outrage over what happened to this man who was murdered by the rabid animals who are allowed to roam the streets. This Floyd character was a life long criminal and contributed nothing to society. Mr Dorn dedicated his life to law and order and was an innocent person brutally murdered for no good reason. This whole BLM BS is an abomination to what is right and wrong in this country.

I hope someone is doing this in depth research on Floyd’s murders.
