Another black man has died senselessly in the streets of a major city.

Retired St. Louis police chief David Dorn was shot and killed around 2:30 last night on that city’s Dr. Martin Luther King Drive.

aptain Dorn was shot by looters who were robbing his friend’s pawnshop, which he was helping protect from the violence that has plagued that city. He died in his own blood on the sidewalk. Dorn was a husband, father and grandfather, serving the people of St. Louis for 38 years as an officer.

The Ethical Society of Police, an organization founded in 1972 representing black officers and working to stop race-based discrimination in St. Louis, mourned Dorn as “the type of brother that would’ve given his life to save them if he had to.” On Twitter, they explained how dedicated he was to his community,

“To put into context how much Captain Dorn believed in being a part of the neighborhoods he once policed in, we would often see him walking his dog in North St. Louis or shopping at a store nearby. Most current and retired officers leave the city as soon as they can.”

Representative Steve King, R-Iowa, who has served nine terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from a conservative district in northwest Iowa, was defeated Tuesday in the Republican primary by state senator Randy Feenstra. In a 5-way race, Feenstra garnered almost 46% of the vote compared to King’s 36%.

King, a conservative on issues such as abortion, marriage and illegal immigration, was also heavily criticized on both sides of the political aisle for his extreme, sometimes bizarre comments to the press and on social media.

For example, in explaining his views on why there should be no exceptions for rape or incest as part of a law banning abortion, King said this last year:

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can’t say that I was not a part of a product of that.”

Yesterday, President Donald Trump held a brief press conference from the Rose Garden at the White House. He stated that he was a “law and order” president, and that the riots that America has been gripped with over the past week would be ended “now.”

If state governors failed to act and were unable to quell the protests, the president announced that he would use his authority as commander-in-chief by sending in the United States military to end the violent riots.

Concluding his remarks, the president surprised reporters and the nation as he said, “Thank you very much, and now I am going to pay my respects to a very, very special place.”
