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.
Yeah didn’t read your username there. But I’ll admit that! I don’t typically pay attention to usernames.
LOL come on dude. That was the whole basis of your criticizing my reading comprehension. Your comedic timing is excellent
So I just wanted to confirm your claim that incorrectly responding to a user indicates poor reading comprehension. That is what you indicated to me, so I just wanted to confirm.
Nope, you didn’t read it clearly! I said you may have mistaken me for another user or it may have been your poor reading comprehension. So your poor reading comprehension has struck yet again! Hahaha
Reading comprehension and reading usernames are two different things.
What a sad defense lol. This is too hilarious. That’s not even taking into account the context of you criticizing someone’s intellect with your career. Community college really did a number on you huh?
Oh and it’s not that I didn’t read clearly. “I just don’t pay attention to that”
😁
