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.

That’s not how deportation works.
You can’t make someone stateless and for very good reason. Congrats, you suggested the one thing worse than execution.
I’m a police abolitionist and going through your exchange here is almost enough to get me to reconsider my position. You really ought to do some reading into the case for abolition. Your undirected rage is doing more harm than good. Sit down, think and learn about the concepts you’re trying to communicate because you sound like a literal child right now. Maybe you’re just a troll and I’m falling for the bait but jeeeeeeesus christ you’re insufferable
