    In this interview, the subject of the Kansas Newspaper raid speculates that the motive comes from “a confluence of personal animus from the mayor, a personal attempt to intimidate us from the police chief, and basic incompetence from the judge and the county attorney.” Judges and county attorneys/district attorneys being rubber stamps for corrupt cops have caused needless deaths and trampled on folks rights plenty in the past.

    The 98 year old editor of that newspaper died the day after the raid.

    I understand that 98 is a bit of an extreme age, but I guarantee you that the stress of watching you constitutional rights being violated was the tipping point for this person’s health. Imagine living for 98 years and some shit cop pushes you to your grave.

        There probably is no way to actually legally prove that they’re at fault. But if I was one of those cops, I’d have trouble sleeping at night.
