St. Louis Police: Second Man Charged in Murder of David Dorn
1:21
A second man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of retired St. Louis police Capt. David Dorn amid violent protests over the death of George Floyd.
St. Louis resident Mark Jackson, 22, faces second-degree murder, robbery, burglary, stealing charges, along with three counts of armed criminal action.
The charges were confirmed by a spokesperson for St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner on Monday.
Stephan Cannon, 24, the suspected shooter, was earlier charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and other crimes. Both men are jailed without bond. Jackson does not have a listed attorney.
The 77-year-old Dorn, who was black, was slain June 2 outside Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry during a looting episode.
Dorn’s last moments were caught on video and apparently posted on Facebook Live, though the video has since been taken down.
His death came on a violent night in St. Louis, where four officers were shot, officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks, and dozens of businesses were burglarized or damaged, including a convenience store that burned.

Harvard Prof: Defunding the Police Could Cost Thousands of Black Lives
2:26
Harvard University Professor Roland Fryer argued this week that defunding the police “could cost thousands of Black lives.” Leftist activists around the nation have called on their local governments to divert funding away from their police forces.
According to a report by the College Fix, Harvard Professor Roland Fryer, himself black, recently published research that suggests that defunding America’s police forces could cost “thousands of black lives.”
Fryer argued this week that the recent calls to “defund” police forces could lead to disastrous consequences. “Defunding the police is not a solution and could cost thousands of black lives,” Roland Fryer wrote in an email to the College Fix.
Fryer’s new paper, which is titled “Policing the Police: The Impact of “Pattern-or-Practice Investigations on Crime,” provides some insights on the relationship between police and their local communities in the United States. The report revealed that homicides skyrocketed in the aftermath of viral police incidents. In other words, police were less likely to be an active presence in certain neighborhoods during periods in which they were facing scrutiny over viral incidents.
“Our estimates suggest that investigating police departments after viral incidents of police violence is responsible for approximately 450 excess homicides per year” a draft of the paper reads. “This is 2x the loss of life in the line of duty for the US Military in a year, 12.6x the annual loss of life due to school shootings, and 3x the loss of life due to lynchings between 1882 and 1901 – the most gruesome years.”
Breitbart News reported in 2016 on Fryer’s research on racial disparities in police shootings. The paper concluded that officers were more likely to shoot at white suspects than they were with black suspects.
“In officer-involved shootings in these cities, officers were more likely to fire their weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects were white,” Fryer’s 2016 paper read. “Black and white civilians involved in police shootings were equally likely to have been carrying a weapon. Both of these results undercut the idea that the police wield lethal force with racial bias.”

Over 30 Shot, Two Killed, in Gun-Controlled Chicago
1:51
More than 30 people were shot, two fatally, as gun violence raged in the city of Chicago over the weekend.
NBC 5 reported that the shooting started Friday around 1:30 p.m. and continued through Monday morning. In many of the cases, the wounded included those standing outside when vehicles pulled up and the occupants opened fire.
Shootings also took place when occupants of one vehicle opened fire on another as they drove down the interstate, shootings that followed verbal altercations, and shootings in which the source of the gunfire is unknown.
A 12-year-old boy was among the numerous individuals wounded in the shootings, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The first homicide of the weekend occurred Saturday at 3:45 a.m., when officers found a man on North Kildare “lying on the round with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body.”
The second homicide was discovered Monday morning when the body of “a man 50 to 60 years of age” was found in a basement. He had been shot to death.
Breitbart News reported that 35 were shot, five fatally, last weekend in Chicago and over 80 were shot in the city during the Memorial Day weekend.
Twenty-four people were killed in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend alone.

Atlanta Burning
Atlanta Burning
Chaos, arson follow police shooting of Rayshard Brooks.
Atlanta was still smoldering Sunday from riots following the police shooting of Rayshard Brooks on Friday. The 27-year-old African American had fallen asleep and his car was blocking the drive-thru lane at a Wendy’ restaurant. Brooks failed a sobriety test and according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, “during the arrest, the male subject resisted and a struggle ensued.”
As surveillance video revealed, “during a physical struggle with officers, Brooks obtained one of the officer’s Tasers and began to flee from the scene. Officers pursued Brooks on foot and during the chase, Brooks turned and pointed the Taser at the officer. The officer fired his weapon, striking Brooks,” who died after surgery at a local hospital. The police bodycam video captured part of the struggle.
Rioters torched the Wendy’s restaurant, blocked Interstate 85, and painted “Defund the Police” on Atlanta police headquarters, where police chief Erika Shields resigned. Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a possible running mate for Joe Biden, told reporters, “I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force.” The city fired officer Garrett Rolfe and placed officer Devin Brosnan on administrative duty.
“I am confident GBI Director Vic Reynolds and his team will follow the facts to ensure justice is served,” tweeted Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Stacey Abrams, who lost to Kemp in 2018 and is being touted as a running mate for Joe Biden, tweeted, “The killing of Rashard Brooks in Atlanta last night demands we severely restrict the use of deadly force. . . sleeping in a drive-thru must not end in death.” Harder to find were statements by prominent Democrats criticizing violent rioters and citing accurate information on police shootings.
According to Larry Elder, citing a Washington Post database, “last year, there were nine unarmed black people killed by law enforcement,” and “nineteen unarmed white people.” Police killed in the line of duty also outnumber unarmed blacks killed by police.
As the FBI reports, “89 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2019” and of those, “48 officers died as a result of felonious acts.” Forty-five of the slain officers were male, three were female, 40 were white and seven black. Six of the slain officers were conducting traffic stops and nine involved in tactical situations.
Five police officers were slain in “unprovoked attacks” and four were responding to crimes in progress. Three police officers were slain while assisting other officers, three were involved in vehicular pursuits and two were “ambushed,” victims of entrapment and premeditation.
“Offenders used firearms to kill 44 of the 48 victim officers,” the FBI reports, and of the 44 officers killed by firearms, 34 were slain with handguns, seven with rifles and one with a shotgun. In addition, “four officers were killed with vehicles used as weapons.”
If the killings were caught on video, few if any have circulated on social media. By all indications, none prompted demonstrations on behalf of the slain officers and against the criminals who had taken their lives. Likewise, the 18 murders in Chicago on May 31 alone, with victims including African American college student Keishanay Bolden, have not prompted widespread protests from groups such as Black Lives Matter.
On Saturday, Hawk Newsome, New York chairman of Black Lives Matter, took aim at the African American Val Demings, also on Joe Biden’s list for a running mate. “Joe Biden would be an idiot to put her on his ticket. People are already on the fence about him,” Newsome told the New York Post. “When black people become police officers, they are no longer black. They are blue. And I have been told this by numerous officers.”
Demings rose through the ranks and in 2007 became chief of police in Jacksonville, Florida. Demings defended the Department from charges that, “rogue cops” operated with impunity. “Looking for a negative story in a police department is like looking for a prayer at church,” Demings wrote. “I believe a reasonable person also understands that a few seconds (even on video) rarely capture the entire set of circumstances.” The VP prospect also encourages young Americans, “no matter the color of their skin or how much money they or their parents have or where they live in this country,” to “live the American dream.”
For Black Lives Matter’s Hawk Newsome, Demings is “no longer black.” In similar style, Joe Biden recently told radio host Charlamagne tha God, “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
That came as a surprise to Sen. Tim Scott, black for 54 years. On Sunday the South Carolina Republican said the situation with Rayshard Brooks, was “a far less clear one than the ones that we saw with George Floyd and several other ones around the country.” Outcomes with law enforcement “seem to have a racial component,” Scott said, but “most of us don’t really understand the definition of systemic racism.”
On Sunday, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told reporters Rayshard Brooks “did not seem to present any kind of threat to anyone, and so the fact that it would escalate to his death just seems unreasonable.” The decision whether to bring charges could come on Wednesday.
The Left Exploits George Floyd’s Killing for Revolution
The Left Exploits George Floyd’s Killing for Revolution
Lenin would be proud.
The Radical Left is exploiting the legitimate outrage of many Americans over the brutal killing of George Floyd on May 25th by Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who has been charged with murder. George Floyd’s killing was shocking enough to millions of Americans to become the spark leftist revolutionaries were looking for to mobilize the masses. As Trevor Loudon, who has researched the radical left for more than 30 years, wrote on June 10th:
The killing of George Floyd was a gift to the communists. It was so egregious and so public that it was bound to provoke outrage. The communists seized on the event and magnified that anger to the point of mass violence. If Floyd had never died, the revolutionaries simply would have waited a few more days until the next opportunity inevitably arose.
The Black Lives Matter movement has socialist roots. It has followed in the footsteps of past radical black liberation movements, but with more intersectionality and the added benefit of current day social media to spread its word. Alicia Garza, the activist who co-founded Black Lives Matter, was railing against “a racialized capitalist society” back in 2015. She praised the “willingness of young people to reject respectability politics, to confront power (in the form of police) directly and militantly.” Garza was also a featured speaker at the Socialism 2017 conference in Chicago. But she and other Black Lives Matter leaders hoped to broaden the movement’s appeal by drawing attention to purported multidimensional racism against black males and females beyond just the issue of alleged abuse by the police. Yet while the Black Lives Matter movement grew as new chapters were formed, it was not growing into the popular nationwide movement its founders were hoping for until the protests of Floyd’s killing erupted. The Black Lives Matter movement suddenly found itself crossing over into the consciousness of mainstream America as a seemingly noble cause against “systemic racism” that “privileged whites” could no longer ignore. However, Black Lives Matter’s socialist underpinning remains. And lacking its own disciplined structure, its alliances with more tightly organized socialist groups remain as firm as ever.
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization-Fightback (FRSO-FB) is one of the radical left socialist organizations that have played a major role behind the scenes in fomenting militancy in the streets following the killing of George Floyd. This self-admitted “Marxist-Leninist organization” has connections to Black Lives Matter through the Communist-inspired National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR) that FRSO-FB helped to bring back to life last year. Another radical left socialist organization involved with Black Lives Matter is the Liberation Road, which split off from FRSO-FB in 1999. The key difference between FRSO-FB and Liberation Road is that the latter seeks to infiltrate the U.S. electoral system from within while FRSO-FB sees more benefit in stirring up direct mass militant action outside of the system to bring about revolutionary change. The National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression is a key part of FRSO-FB’s strategy to enlist black activists in revolutionary liberation struggles in the United States and abroad.
AARPR was reconstituted in 2019 after FRSO-FB’s publication Fight Back News Service issued its “Call for a National Conference Reestablishing the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.” Initial sponsors of that conference included Communist Angela Davis, who was associated with the original version of NAARPR in the 1970’s. Other sponsors of the conference to reestablish NAARPR, in addition to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization itself, included the Arab American Action Network, Black Lives Matter – Chicago, and the US Palestinian Community Network.
By their own words, FRSO-FB and NAARPR have made clear their intention to use the anti-police protests mobilized in response to George Floyd’s killing to advance their revolutionary ambitions. In fact, NAARPR jumped the gun. On May 19, 2020 – six days before the George Floyd killing - NAARPR issued a release calling upon “all its members, comrades, friends and allies to join in a national day of protest on May 30áµ—Ê°, 2020 at 3:00 PM EST.”
NAARPR originally intended its May 30th protest to be a fight against Wall Street greed and “the government standing by as COVID-19 ravages African American, Latinx and Indigenous communities—inciting mass Black death with their calls to reopen the economy.” NAARPR also wanted to protest “the police and racist vigilantes” who “continue to brazenly hunt and kill Black folks while they sleep in their beds and on open roads in broad daylight.” But despite the incendiary language NAARPR used to describe why it was organizing the march, it was most likely too abstract to mobilize masses of people to the streets. Then the video of George Floyd’s brutal killing on May 25th went viral. Suddenly NAAPRP and its sponsor FRSO-FB had what they needed to excite the masses. On May 25th, NAAPRP re-issued its call for a day of protest on May 30th.
Rioters burnt down the 3rd Precinct building of the Minneapolis Police Department on May 28th. Displaying a photo of a blazing inferno, the Joint Nationalities Commission of Freedom Road Socialist Organization issued a statement on May 29th, declaring that “The streets are on fire for action and our job is to continue to fan the flames.” On June 7th, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Minnesota District recounted with pride how the police were compelled to abandon the Third Precinct Police Station in Minneapolis, which “was taken over and burned.” Its statement referred to looting of stores as “shopping for free,” adding that “People have had enough and are taking things into their own hands.”
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization issued a statement on June 12th, boasting about “the protests against police terror” the Marxist-Leninist group “has been, and will be, going out to build.” Referring to the United States as “a jailhouse for the oppressed,” the statement declared, “We need revolution. A revolution where the wealthy are divested of their riches and rule of the working class is established – socialism.” FRSO-FB left no doubt what kind of “revolution“it had in mind. “We are reds and proud of it. Be it China, Russia, Cuba, or any other country where the rule of capital was brought to an end, revolutionaries employing Marxism-Leninism were at the forefront. We are serious about winning.”
FRSO-FB and NAARPR are very serious about winning! Planning for the “revolution” has been going on for years. Frank Chapman, who was a leader of the original National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression movement in the 1970’s, is now a leading member of both the current version of NAARPR and of Freedom Road Socialist Organization-FightBack. Linking the socialist group to radical black activism, Chapman stated at the 8th Congress of Freedom Road Socialist Organization-Fight Back in 2018, “We are making real progress in building a fighting communist organization, and I am looking forward to more advances in the struggle against police crimes and building the Black liberation movement.”
The “Resolution to Refound the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (NAARPR)” was passed at the November 2019 conference in Chicago that FRSO-FB’s publication Fight Back News Service had promoted. Chapman and his comrade-in-arms Angela Davis were speakers at the conference. The resolution “refounding” NAARPR used the language typical of the far left. For example, it declared that “we are facing a national epidemic of state sponsored violence perpetrated by police and vigilantes targeting the oppressed Black, Latinx, immigrant, indigenous, LGBTQ, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and gender fluid communities.” The resolution complained of” blatant police occupation in…major urban areas.” It decried the “institutionalization of a U.S. police state.” It expressed NAARPR’s “unconditional solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.” It recited a laundry list of other victims of “oppression,” declaring that “we continue to stand in unconditional solidarity with the national liberation movements of Palestine, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the anti-imperialist struggles of South Africa, Venezuela, and all progressive, democratic forces against imperialism.”
At the November 2019 conference Chapman declared, “Abolishing the police and prisons, is part of a larger vision of changing and abolishing governments that oppress us.” Chapman lauded the younger generation leading the Black Lives Matter movement today and made it clear that he remained “in the trenches” to guide them. One of Chapman’s young disciples and a speaker at the conference was Ariel Atkins, a lead organizer for Black Lives Matter Chicago. “Frank believes in the youth. And he fully believes in allowing them the power and access they need in order to grow,” Atkins said. “When Trayvon Martin was killed, I think that was when the next wave of organizers really took place because there were people organizing but you know, they didn’t have the means and the energy to mobilize people to really base build.”
George Floyd’s horrendous killing provided the energy that the “people organizing” the mass protests were waiting for. Vladimir Lenin would be very proud. As he wrote in What Is To Be Done? Burning Questions of our Movement, “This struggle must be organized, according to ‘all the rules of the art’, by people who are professionally engaged in revolutionary activity. The fact that the masses are spontaneously being drawn into the movement does not make the organisation of this struggle less necessary.” (Emphasis in the original)
The revolutionaries succeed when cowardly politicians retreat in the face of lawlessness and well-meaning people genuflect to the new norms of behavior that today’s “cultural revolution” demands.
The media went in search of white incitement to make a case against Republicans but found instead, white inciters were members of the far-left nihilist group, Antifa. They support and vote Democrat and that imported agitators, looters and arsonists were predominantly black.
The Protests May Have Started Out Legitimate, but They've Been Hijacked
For two days, November 9–10, 1938, the Jewish people underwent a seminal moment in their glorious but often tragic history. During these two nights, unaffectionately dubbed Kristallnacht or "Night of Broken Glass," Nazis in Germany torched synagogues; vandalized Jewish homes, schools, and businesses; and killed close to 100 Jews.
Two days prior, a 17-year-old Polish Jew named Herschel Grynszpan heard that his parents had been deported by the Nazis to Poland. Seeking retribution, Grynszpan tracked down Ernst vom Rath, a German diplomat in Paris and assassinated him. It turned out to be just the pretense Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels was seeking to incite anti-Semitic riots throughout Germany. Nazi officials ordered German police officers and firemen to do nothing as the riots raged and buildings burned. Sound familiar?
Fast-forward 82 years to the murder of George Floyd.
What started out as a peaceful protest against the death of this unfortunate man has likewise spawned unprecedented, widespread violence and destruction throughout the United States. This mayhem has thus far taken the lives of at least 11 people, many of whom are black Americans. Hundreds of others have been injured in the chaos, with police officers getting shot and protesters struck with rubber bullets.
As the carnage, looting, arson, and assaults have been allowed to continue in Democrat-controlled states and municipalities, it has become undeniably evident that the wrongful death of George Floyd has morphed into anarchism. As lives, businesses, and personal property have been driven asunder, the criminal perpetrators are buoyed by pusillanimous Democrat politicians too timid to take back their own streets. Whether it be Crown Heights, August 1991; Rodney King, May 1992; Ferguson Missouri, August 2014; Baltimore, April 2015; or one of many others, the script has remained the same. In concordance with fawning state and local officials, a legitimate protest is hijacked by a throng of anarchists.
In doing so, the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, is branded by Democrats as the party of racist policies. Barry Shaw, the international public diplomacy director at the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, had this to say in an article entitled "America's Race Problems: An Outsider's Perspective":
The media went in search of white incitement to make a case against Republicans but found instead, white inciters were members of the far-left nihilist group, Antifa. They support and vote Democrat and that imported agitators, looters and arsonists were predominantly black.
According to Wikipedia, Antifa, which ironically stands for "anti-fascist," comprises autonomous groups "that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both non-violent and violent action rather than through policy reform." No hidden agenda there. The article goes on to state: "Antifa's political activists engage in protest tactics involving property damage, physical violence, and harassment," ostensibly against fascists, racists, and those on the far right. Tell that to black and other business-owners whose life's work has gone up in flames.
Poignantly, the article concludes: "Individuals involved in the movement tend to hold anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist views, subscribing to a range of left wing ideologies such as anarchism, communism, Marxism, social democracy and socialism." Irrespective of color, creed, or origin, these are not exactly ideologies most Americans have grown up following.
Seemingly forgotten in all this turmoil are the advances black Americans have witnessed during the Trump years. Since taking office, the president has created over a million jobs for that constituency. Prior to the recent pandemic, national black unemployment hit an all-time low of 5.5 percent — even lower for black women at 4.4 percent.
Several months ago, Pastor Darrell Scott, a member of President Donald Trump's executive transition team, and co-founder of the New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, penned an article entitled "Black Communities Thriving Thanks to President Trump."
The pastor states: "That focus on expanding economic opportunity for minorities has been a major priority for the Trump Administration and by eliminating the sentencing disparities caused by the horrendous Clinton-era crime bill, African American inmates, sentenced unfairly were given a second chance at the American Dream." He concludes: "After all the progress African-Americans have made under Mr. Trump, it's difficult to even imagine going back to the Democrats' failed, big-government policies that have held us back for so long."
Words such as these are anathema to the race-baiters and insurrectionist elements in the aforementioned states whose sole goals are discord, dissolution, and anarchy, not social justice. As they burn police precincts, pillage property, and illegally occupy large swathes of cities, they are emboldened by state, local, and federal Democrats who acquiesce to their every wish and whim, no matter how absurd — the latest being to defund the police.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, representing Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, is in the vanguard of this movement. She's quoted saying: "The Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the root and so when we dismantle it, we get rid of that cancer and we allow for something beautiful to rise." The only beautiful thing to rise without a viable police force can be seen occurring today in Seattle.
In an interview on FOX News, Omar's opponent in November, Republican Lacy Lee Johnson, recognizing the imbecility of dismantling the police department, had this to say about Omar and the Minneapolis City Council. "We have a reckless city council making reckless decisions about the safety and health of our community by passing this law to disband and stop funding the police. They are putting our community at risk." Admonitions such as this have so far fallen upon deaf ears in other Democrat-run states such as Washington, particularly in the once beautiful city of Seattle.
This past week, going by the acronym CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone), a cabal of far-left adolescents directed by Antifa and Black Lives Matter affiliates occupied a seven-square-block portion of that city. Breaking through police barricades, protesters attacked police with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital. Abandoned by a feckless mayor, Jenny Durkan; a city council of equal irrelevance; and an ineffectual governor, Jay Inslee, police withdrew from the area, in effect relinquishing control of an American city to mob rule.
In a matter of days, unelected, self-proclaimed "warlords" created a hardened border, and a rudimentary form of government based on principles of intersectional representation. "Rather than enforce the law, Seattle's progressive political class capitulated to the mob and will likely make massive concessions over the next few months. This will embolden the Antifa coalition, and further undermine the rule of law in American cities."
Witnessing their success in Seattle, there can be little doubt that other U.S. cities under Democrat administration will soon follow suit and fall sway to instigation and violence by the likes of Antifa; Black Lives Matter; and other insurrectionist, anti-American organizations.
Poll: 79 Percent of Truckers Say They Won’t Deliver to Cities with Defunded Police Departments
1:47
A majority of truckers are vowing to halt deliveries to cities that defund or disband their police departments, according to a recent poll.
Seventy-nine percent of truck drivers said they felt their safety would be at risk if they had to deliver to a city with a disbanded police department, according to CDL News, a website for the commercial trucking industry.
Long-haul truck drivers have been on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic for the past year due to stay-at-home orders requiring most Americans to buy their goods online, and have had to deal with protests.
Now many truckers are worried about going to places such as Minneapolis, Minnesota, where their city council president reportedly planned to dismantle their police department following the death of George Floyd.
CDL News asked drivers on its app to explain their reasoning for not delivering to these cities.
“I will not deliver to an area with a disbanded police department. My life matter and I do this for my family. We are already at the mercy of these towns and cities with laws and hate against us for parking, getting a meal or even using a restroom,” one driver responded.
“Simple. We may not like it all the time, but laws and order is necessary,” another driver said.
Truck driving has historically been ranked as one of the most dangerous jobs in the U.S.
In 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked it as the most dangerous job in the country with construction workers coming in second, farmers and ranchers taking third, groundskeepers taking the fourth slot, and miscellaneous agricultural employees rounding out the list as the fifth most dangerous job.
