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.â€Â
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.

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.For those unfamiliar with the area, Aurora is a big, sprawling eastern suburb of Denver.

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.
