Apparently you missed it, he's already been charged with murder, he and
the three other cops involved have been fired, and they have been
charged as accessories.

I bought quite a bit of gear at Central in the ‘70s. I too am angry — horrified
in fact — over the killing of the black man at the hands of a lunatic cop. I
hope he’s eventually charged with murder 1 and spends the rest of his life in
prison. But I don’t share Don’s lack of anger at the looters and arsonists.
Destroying other people's property and lives accomplishes nothing positive. It
only paints the protesters as insincere and a danger to society.

Hi Everyone!
I hope you and your families are well and safe during these very difficult
times.
I thought I’d share a photography related story. Many of you probably know of
Central Camera store located downtown Chicago. It’s a quirky but fun camera
store, which has been in business for 121 years, founded 1899. Don Flesh is
the 3rd generation owner; his grand-father started the business; Flesh is aged
72.
Sadly, Central Camera suffered looting and was burned out. Flesh is confident
he can get the store back up and running, which is good. He is also not angry
and stands “with the African American community in solidarity.”
On the one hand I share this story because, well, this is a photography list
and this is a photography story and I thought photographers on the list would
be interested.
But on the other hand I thought I’d highlight two Flesh quotes that would have
definitely made our PDML Quote List that Mark Roberts puts together every year
had Flesh been a PDMLer.
Quote #1: “I wanted to go in, but the looters, there were so many people
walking by and I was a little bit shy and fearful and all I had was an umbrella
that was closed, and I didn’t think I could knock out everybody. No Rambo
here,” he said.
Quote #2: “Flesh started the live interview by noting that he had run out of
film and his phone had died so he was unable to photograph the scene. Asked
for his parting thoughts, he said, ‘I hope everybody is safe. Everybody should
learn a lesson. What is the lesson? Be prepared. Have more film in your
pocket.’”
I’ve included the link to the article below.
