Apparently that Kansas newspaper raided by police had been investigating the police chief for sexual misconduct at his previous job, according to an interview with the publisher https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper

@MediaLawProf@mastodon.social I've seen situations like this in other places. Usually, the local people are as fed up with the police, Mayor and local business people as the newspaper editor is. Come next election, big changes are in the offing!

@MediaLawProf@mastodon.social Please tell me there is going to be accountability here. In addition to the PD, That judge never should have issued the warrant.

@MediaLawProf@mastodon.social Makes law enforcement in Kansas seem more Southern. Small town politics. So sad.
