David Dorn's Widow Speaks

 David Dorn's Widow Eviscerates the Black Lives Matter Narrative at the RNC by Tyler O'Neil

"Violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. They do not safeguard black lives. They destroy them. President Trump understands this and has offered federal help to restore order in our communities..." -Ann Dorn

Ann Dorn, the widow of retired Police Chief David Dorn, delivered tearful remarks about the death of her husband in the George Floyd riots in St. Louis. She spoke about fearing for David's life every time he went out to help people, but on the night of June 2, he didn't wake her up before leaving. She condemned the violent riots as the opposite of peaceful protest.

"The alarm that went off the morning of June 2nd was for real. It was a violent night in St. Louis. Four police officers were shot. Others were hit with rocks and fireworks. At least 55 businesses were damaged, looted, or set on fire," the bereaved widow recalled.

"After I had gone to bed, Dave received a call from Lee's alarm company. The front door of the pawn shop had been breached. This time, he didn't wake me up to tell me. He probably knew I would have tried to stop him or insisted on going with him," Ann Dorn said.

"As I slept, looters were ransacking the shop. They shot and killed Dave in cold blood and livestreamed the execution and his last moments on this earth. Dave's grandson was watching the video on Facebook in real time, not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk," she recalled.
