“Marion city police and the Marion County sheriff’s office did something on Friday that no government agency in America has any right to do. They shut down a newspaper.”

  • The Wichita Eagle and Kansas City Star Editorial Boards
  • Cody was hired by Marion in April, after taking an early retirement from the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department, where he was a captain.

    According to Eric Meyer, the Record has been actively investigating the circumstances surrounding Cody’s departure from the KCMO department.

    KCPD is in the spotlight now, too… might get a lot more serious quick…

    unfortunately Kansas has a corrupt state government

      Yeah, I’m not optimistic that a KBI under the leadership of Kris “K” Kobach is going to be in much hurry to investigate small town police corruption at the behest of a fundraiser for another MAGA nutjob.

      Thigh who knows, maybe ol’ Kris is too busy virtue signaling his blood-and-soil, anti-immigrant values to the xenophobes that make up his primary constituency to actually dirty his hands with the work of being attorney-general. Wouldn’t be the first time he was too busy trying to get on TV to do his job.
