One of the reporters who works at the small Kansas newspaper that was raided by authorities earlier this month filed a federal lawsuit against the police chief Wednesday.
Deb Gruver believes Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody violated her constitutional rights when he abruptly snatched her personal cellphone out of her hands during a search where officers also seized computers from the Marion County Record’s office, according to the lawsuit. That Aug. 11 search and two others conducted at the homes of the newspaper’s publisher and a City Council member have thrust the town into the center of a debate over the press protections in the First Amendment.

I work with local governments for my job and the part that keeps not getting talked about is the part where they raided the home of a local city council member… The ones who vote on his employment and can remove him as they wish… That police chief needs to be thrown in jail.
Hopefully the courts will turn that criminal organization upside down and inside out.
Well it won’t. So don’t get your hopes up, also what a pointless, and over enthusiastic comment. This is America, nothing will happen to them.
You’re one to talk about pointless comments. What made you think yours was worth making?
