Police raid on Kansas newspaper appears to have led to a file on the chief, bodycam video shows

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Body camera video from a central Kansas police department's raid of a weekly newspaper shows that an officer rifled through a desk drawer of a reporter who was investigating its chief and then beckoned the chief over to look at the documents he found.

The police chief leading the August raid on the Marion County Record then says, “Keep a personal file on me. I don't care," the video shows. He's briefly seen bending over, apparently to look at the drawer, before the other officer's clipboard blocks the view of what the chief is doing.
