Sad thing is that this actually surprises me.
Authorities announced they have arrested and charged Stephan Cannon, 24, for the murder of retired St. Louis police captain David Dorn.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner said Cannon faces charges of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, felon in possession of a firearm, and three counts of armed criminal action.
Dorn died after Cannon allegedly shot him while looting Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry on June 2. Riots broke out in St. Louis and around the nation in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.
Dorn was friends with the owner and checked in when the alarms went off, even in his retirement.
Dorn’s wife St. Louise police Sgt. Ann Marie Dorn still works for the department.
I actually didn't think Kimmy would take that step but I guess if the guy who was murdered is a well-beloved retired African-American St. Louis police captain, she kind of has to.

Dorn's status is probably why it's first-degree murder rather than a lesser charge.
Hope so. I hope that because of The Vitally Important Cause, that Kimmy doesn't phone this one in.
I hope the prosecution of this is competent. I have grave doubts about the prosecution in Minneapolis. Keith Ellison appears to have over-charged and will have trouble making the evidence fit the charge. The Hennepin County assistant DA, who got the conviction of the Somali officer for shooting the Australian woman in her pajamas, is apparently out of the picture. She's competent. Ellison strikes me as being unprepared to be the AG.
I've seen a very touching video today of people standing in line to pay respects to Dorn. RIP.
