98-year-old newspaper owner dies in Kansas after police raid her home

A 98-year-old newspaper owner who died after a controversial police raid was filmed angrily berating officers as they rummaged through her home. Clutching a Zimmer frame, Joan Meyer could not contain her fury as at least six officers, armed with a warrant went through her belongings in a heavy-handed visit that triggered a nationwide row over freedom of the press. The footage, released by the Marion County Record – whose offices were also raided – attracted more than 23,000 views in a few hours as anger spread at the heavy-handed operation which involved the entire local police department. #kansas #Marion County Record #police Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
