The police chief who led an August raid on a small weekly newspaper in central Kansas resigned Monday, just days after he was suspended from his post and following the release of body camera video of the raid showing an officer searching the desk of a reporter investigating the chief’s past.
Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody’s resignation was confirmed to The Associated Press both by Mayor Dave Mayfield and City Council member Ruth Herbel, following an announcement by Mayfield at Monday’s council meeting. Mayfield had suspended Cody on Thursday for reasons that have not been made public. In a text message Monday night to the AP, he said he couldn’t answer questions about the chief’s resignation “as it is a personnel matter.”
Cody stepped down weeks after a local prosecutor said that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to justify the search of the Marion County Record or searches at the same time of the publisher’s home and Herbel’s home.

You’re just an insufferable person, aren’t you?
You think I support the police in this country simply for not agreeing with something you said? How old are you? Because you’re acting like an opinionated teenager with black and white thinking.
Grow up.

Never said that. Pay more attention in school! You may have reading comprehension problems.
I never said it was only for immigrants; I simply linked an excerpt stating that natural born US citizens cannot be deported. Are you mixing me up with the other commenter, or is this just your poor reading comprehension getting the best of you again?
Why do so many people online think people on the other side of disagreements are upset and emotional? Just a projection? I’m calm, collected, and amused by you. I’m having a great morning enjoying my coffee!
Just remember to focus on that reading comprehension! Peace out and fuck the police!
