A central Kansas police force comes under constitutional criticism after raiding a newspaper
A small central Kansas police department is facing a torrent of criticism after it raided the offices of a local newspaper and the home of its publisher and owner.
Several press freedom watchdogs condemned the Marion Police Department’s actions as a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution’s protection for a free press. The Marion County Record’s editor and publisher, Eric Meyer, worked with his staff Sunday to reconstruct stories, ads and other materials for its next edition Wednesday, even as he took time in the afternoon to provide a local funeral home with information about his mother, Joan, the paper’s co-owner.
A search warrant tied Friday morning raids, led by Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody, to a dispute between the newspaper and a local restaurant owner, Kari Newell. She is accusing the newspaper of invading her privacy and illegally accessing information about her and her driving record and suggested that the newspaper targeted her after she threw Meyer and a reporter out of restaurant during a political event.

Imagine being a cop raiding the home of a 98 year old woman as she sits there crying and thinking, "I'm doing a good job. This is the right thing to do." Then after she dies later that day from the shock of what you just did, you think to yourself, "well, that's what she gets for being a liberal."
that's how weak and cowardly they have become
Uvalde showed us what those pigs were truly made of.
