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.
I had a client tell me to go back to wherever I came from (I’m a pasty ass white guy) and she left this letter on my car accusing me of being a middle-eastern “Islamic Jew” and telling me to do something with “your gold”, and to “bury your head in the sand.”
It was one of the more amusing accusations I’d received over the years. I tried to address the letter with her and she just kept telling me “Move back to whatever country you came from.” I said I was born in the US, and told her that I’m mostly of Irish decent, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said so matter of fact: “Then go back to Ireland” and stormed off.
I wasn’t upset and when she went back in the facility I couldn’t help but let out a pretty good laugh. Another client was on the porch laughing and he was just saying “Man you’re so white!” (he was black and seemed so amused by the accusations). My hair is black, but my skin is Conan white… My supervisor was an African American (in that she immigrated here from South Africa) and she would tease me relentlessly about being ‘middle-eastern’ for years.
But that wild note under my windshield was a lot better than the rocks that Client covered a facility worker’s car with! My supervisor made me drop that client from my caseload fearing more false accusations.
Man, sorry for this rant out of no where… That user and your response just made me think of it. That deportation part of his comment was just so absurd it just brought me back to that other situation.
Deportation - noun.
The action of forcing someone to leave a country, but especially someone who has no legal right to be there or who has broken the law.
Does not at all depend on your nationality. Simply another way of saying kick criminal cops out of America.
So why is that part of the comment absurd?

I’m familiar with the law.
Amendments are an important part of the constitutional process. Especially for domestic terrorists.
Bootlickers going to bootlick though I guess
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.
No no no!!! We can’t be mean to cops that’s against the law!!!
I don’t care if you disagree, your entire premise was that deportation is only for immigrants. You were objectively wrong on that point. As soon as I pointed that out you pivoted to constitutionality because you knew you were wrong and you couldn’t admit it.
Cry me a River. Or maybe just write another 17 paragraph essay about your life experiences 🤣
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!
If only I had your reading comprehension, I could have your illustrious career.
What do you think “someone who has no legal right to be there” is a reference too? When would a citizen not have the legal right to be in his own country? How often have you heard of a citizen being deported from his own country? It’s literally against international law.
