TOPEKA, Kan. – 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.”

I hope this guy gets arrested before all is said and done.

Both officers — who were tried together — had been charged with both crimes, as well as manslaughter. Mr. Roedema will be sentenced on Jan. 5.
First responders, including the police and paramedics, had placed Mr. McClain, 23, in a chokehold during a confrontation in Aurora, Colo., and injected him with a powerful sedative. He died in the hospital several days later. Three police officers and two paramedics were charged in his death, and are being tried in three separate trials. The joint trial of Mr. Roedema and Mr. Rosenblatt was the first.

The split verdict came as a shock among those who had been pushing for accountability since Mr. McClain’s death four years ago.
 
I just gotta say Aurora, CO is one dangerous place apparently...

That's where guy dressed up like Batman and shot up the movie theater...

For those unfamiliar with the area, Aurora is a big, sprawling eastern suburb of Denver. Like most such places, it has bad areas and also very nice neighborhoods...

my brother's buddy was an officer there for a while. he shot and killed 3 perps in the span of about 1.5-2 years. he was on a gang unit and all three were dirtbags pulling a weapon on him. iirc, in one of the incidents, he was grazed by a round. he left policing for good after the 3rd incident.

he didn't have a lot nice to say about the area. i'm sure he was spending most/all of his time in the bad areas.
 
A Philadelphia police officer was shot and killed and a second officer was wounded when they confronted people breaking into a car at Philadelphia International Airport, police said. Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said the officers were arriving at work and were parked in the garage shortly after 11 p.m. when they saw several people breaking into a vehicle in the parking garage area.

update in the tyre nichols case

Out of the five former Memphis police officers criminally charged in the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols, one of them threw in the towel on the fight to prove his innocence. The former cop has now decided to plead guilty.
....
Along with his former colleagues, Mills originally pleaded not guilty to all charges. However, according to a recent court filing, Mills had a hearing set Thursday to change to a guilty plea on his federal charges, per NBC News. Each officer faces life in prison if convicted. Mills is looking at no more than 15 years in prison and no parole.

I'd like to credit him for being honorable in at least admitting guilt, but expect it was simply an effort to save his own bacon.
 

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

another good cop(s) story


Two retired New York City police officers who detained a woman accused of trying to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home in Atlanta last week were recognized by their former department over the weekend.
......
The brothers detained U.S. Navy veteran Laneisha Shantrice Henderson, 26, who allegedly doused the home’s front porch with gasoline before trying to light it on fire. She has been charged with second-degree criminal attempt to commit arson and interference with government property and was denied bond during her first appearance hearing Saturday.
