The widow of the retired police Capt. David Dorn, was among the  early speakers.  Ann Dorn spoke impressively about her husband's and the other killings during such protests.  Very poignant comments.  Her five minutes were fulled with emotions, and the viewers likely were filled with the same kinds of sadness that she experienced.  

“Violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest,” she said. “They do not safeguard Black lives. They destroy them.”
