Article by Brandon Morse in "RedState":

The tragic murder of 77-year-old retired police officer David Dorn was a turning point in the public’s view of the riots over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. Dorn’s final moments were recorded on a Facebook live, sparking many to question the legitimacy of the riots, which had hitherto been considered about protecting black lives.

Now, according to St. Louis police, a series of arrests have been made based off of footage from inside the pawn shot that Dorn was murdered for protecting. One of the arrests was Stephan Cannon, 24.
