Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA.
My friend Martin Gugino is an old man with cancer who is now in the hospital with brain damage after being pushed to the ground by a police officer he was trying to talk to.

DAVID DORN VISITATION: All day, the line has been out the door since Dorn’s visitation started. A close friend of Dorn, who worked by his side tells me, “He was a brother to me. St. Louis has lost one of its finest.” @ksdknews pic.twitter.com/bLqnn3CmVd

It’s clear Dorn made an impact on everyone he met. One woman waiting in the visitation line described this tragedy as “a terrible loss for everyone… black, white it doesn’t matter. He loved everyone and there’s so few people like that in the world today.” @KMOV pic.twitter.com/Xc6mtC6jLQ

“I just felt like I lost a brother.”
Line growing outside of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church. Spoke with a retired officer who says he worked alongside Dorn for years. Even as he got promoted, his friend said Dorn’s outlook stayed the same — always caring and humble @KMOV pic.twitter.com/hIVlLrEyQ5

Norah O’Donnell: “Do you believe there is systemic racism in law enforcement?” @JoeBiden: “Absolutely. But it’s not just in law enforcement, it’s across the board. It’s in housing, it’s in education, and it’s in everything we do. It’s real, it’s genuine, it’s serious.”

Not backing down on defunding police:
In 2016 when I ran against a 44yr incumbent, people told me saying #BlackLivesMattters was wrong messaging and I would lose.
Today, not only did I win that race but everyone is falling over themselves to say #BlackLivesMattters.
We speak to our values, not their messaging.
