Law enforcement officers in Kansas raided the home and office of a newspaper owner, prompting a sharp rebuke from a press freedom group and raising constitutional questions far beyond the small city in the state.
The old woman raided during this died shortly after. I read a statement by the paper that strongly suggested the stress of the raid was too much for her. (Can't seem to find it right now tho, sry)
“Get out of my house!” Meyer, 98, repeatedly told officers while using her walker to navigate around the home she shared with son Eric Meyer, publisher of the newspaper.
At one point during the search, she challenged an officer and questioned whether his mother loves him.
“Did your mother love you? Do you love on your mother? You’re an a--hole,” the late newspaper co-owner said. “Police chief? You’re the chief? Oh, god. Get out of my house."
