The raid on Joan’s home caused her anguish and undue distress. Her son Eric said his mother was so upset she wasn’t able to get to sleep that night and didn’t even lay down to sleep till around 6am the next morning. When she woke up later on her son said he tried to get her to eat something. She responded she wasn’t hungry and didn’t feel well. She was mid-sentence with her son when she collapsed and died. Upsetting a 98-year old, especially to the point they can’t even sleep, can cause a prolonged surge of stress hormones and precipitate a cardiac event. It’s sad but true.
I'm a caregiver for the elderly and I back this up 💯
A tiny fall or UTI can end their lives, so imagine what a full on police invasion into your safe space would cause 😢
What they did was an abuse of power, but they couldn't know it wouldn't precipitate her death.
@@billyin4c514 : Baloney!!! Any person with a Normal IQ would know what stress an armed invasion of her home, would do to her, at 98 years of age. "American Values" thrown under the bus again and again, by Lawless Enforcement.
What the fuck is wrong with people!!!?💔
@@billyin4c514I think it's fair to say that most people could understand that a raid of a 98 year old woman's home, especially without any legitimate cause to be there, could very possibly put her at risk of dying. The elderly are known to be particularly vulnerable to physical manifestations of stress like heart attacks and strokes
If you don’t think these county officials collude with one another on these types of abuses you’re extremely naive.
I realize there's some collusion just about everywhere, but what about a group of grown adult men not questioning a raid of this nature in the first place?
Doc Grande has faith in the system, it's admirable anyway.
Absolutely true. Those county officials definitely collude with one another. Marion county is definitely corrupt.
Agree!
True. But the SLEAZY newspaper is benefiting from the crap they started.
She literally died standing up for her rights and defending free speech. I absolutely believe the police harassment killed her. For shame, that poor woman.
Yes, it seems so. Poor lady couldn't sleep that night, nor eat the next day. She died shortly after the invasion of her home.
Oh boy, stuffed right in our face in the political arena 💯🤡
She probably had Covid and so they'll blame her death on that.
@@serenadevon you have TDS
I stopped reading at "literally"
Imagine being so petty, that your revenge is to hound an elderly woman to death and fill her final hours with anger and worry. This lady was right, where are all the good people?
Not at her crappy newspaper, that’s for sure! How many lives do you think SHE ruined with her small-town yellow journalism?
Everywhere...but there's not a lot of them in the pig department...
But it's also a shame that the SLEAZY newspaper is benefiting from the crap they started.
@@jaymike3302Sleazy? What about sharing a story on a cop is sleazy? I know I'd want to know about the cops in my area. Too many times corrupt cops get shuffled around rather than facing any type of real justice. Same with teachers too. If it's public record the guy had no right stopping the paper from posting about it nor harassing them over what they post. Why are you defending dirty cops?
@jaymike3302 dont like it dont read it.
There needs to be more accountability for judges who sign BS or faulty warrants
Exactly! From what I've been hearing it can be difficult to file charges against a sitting judge / magistrate. It might have to be through a disciplinary hearing. The best punishment would be for us to keep the heat on Laura Viar 24-7 and force her to resign in disgrace. But in general, we have allowed a system of laws to be put into place that protect judges, prosecutors and police way too much from their misconduct. All under the name of preserving law and order
My grandfather was a judge, and I think that's part of the reason that my grandmother told people he wasn't home. The sheriff's department would show up at his house with warrants because his house was easy to get to. They count on judges signing them just to get them away from their door, but he wasn't going to do that.
It just came out in the Wichita paper four days ago that the magistrate in this case, Lori Viar, also has a history of drunk driving. She was arrested in two other counties (not Marion county, where she was the prosecutor at the time), for DUI in 2012. Apparently officials in the second county did not find out that her driver’s license had already been suspended in the earlier case-or about the existence of the first case.
It looks like she refused to cooperate with her diversion requirements in the first case to seek an alcohol and drug evaluation and refused to cooperate with her attorney. All that happened was that that it was extended for six more months. I don’t know what happened in the other case, where she drove off the road and into a school building. Probably not much, because neither county knew about the other incidents.
I’m not surprised this happened, when there is such a history of acting without consequences. As a former small town Kansas resident, it’s immensely satisfying when small town corrupt officials finally have their shitty behavior held under a magnifying glass and shown to everyone, because I can guarantee this wasn’t the first time this kind of thing has happened.
& Cops who are so petty they bring half the force to search a 98 yo house. Plus wouldn't shock me if there was some completely fictional info in the warrant application. Typically judges don't sign off on shyt without a legal basis, it's also typical for cops to lie as often as they breath so
ABSOLUTLY
It was horrible to watch police antagonize a 98 yo woman in her own home for hours! Of course this cruel behavior contributed to her death and prevented her from becoming a centurion. 😢
Nah, if she just sat her ass down and ate her MOW oatmeal, she woulda been fine.
@@helenmoss9740boot lickers always blame the victim. I don't expect much from people whose favorite flavor of ice cream is leather.
@@helenmoss9740 HAH! thats not how having police in your house works.
She was going to lead a cohort in the Roman army if she hadn't died? That's quite impressive given her age, gender, and the fact that the Roman army hasn't existed for around 1500 years.
In Australia police tasered a 95-year-old demented woman in a rest home, she died not long after.
Photo shot of the actual search warrant on another legal channel shows it listed absolutely no evidence whatsoever to justify the raid, as they are legally required to do. The local magistrate was complicit. Which is why the DA required everything seized in the raid be returned to the paper and the family. The police performed an illegal raid and a woman died because of it.
Should be an interesting 4th Amendment lawsuit.
absolutely, this needs to become a big legal confrontation
Time to call the Institute for Justice.
This should not stand
Ohhh thats so not cool. I hope there is justice on this.
They are above the law
Oh my stars! A petty, small little man who joined a police force, lost his job with that police force for inappropriate behavior, and then got another law enforcement job, where he proceeded to abuse his authority? Whoever could have imagined such a thing could happen in America today? It's just so unbelievable.
🤣😒
I mean, didn't they check his references? We all know that they cannot say why someone left or if he was in trouble for misconduct. BUT, if you call up a reference and all they say are dates of employment and don't expound on things like "I so miss him in the office/you will love him just like we did...", That is the time to bypass that applicant. There are ways around the legal blocking of work references, as we all know!
@@Gamma-Vthey know hence why they don’t want any stories getting out.
It is a story as old as civilization....we know it now and it is breaking 💔.
..and with the rank of chief.
Not only did she berate the one officer, she (gently) shoved him with her walker at 12:58. She sure went down swinging, like a boss!
Absolute bastards. That poor old woman.
Little more respect for the awesome 98 year old woman who died after being retaliated against by the police chief....SAY HER NAME JOAN MEYER
Just disturbing and disgusting all at the same time. I hope those cops feel some shame for partaking in this violation. Poor lady deserved better. Rip
Mark Twain once said "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel." Anything they were trying to hide by these raids is for sure coming out now.
Thank you for the calm and complete description of what went down there.
Police Chief and his thugs should be held accountable and aressted for murder of the 98 year old citizen who did nothing wrong. They deliberately harassed her and made her life extremely physically violent for a 98 year old lady.
That old lady went out with a bang .... she gave those officers holy hell when they raided her house!!!!!
I’m 71 and recently was verbally bullied by a guy. I said “people often mistake me for a nice old lady. It’s a mistake they only make once”. 😂
PS he apologized.
@@nhmooytis7058 You go girl.
She was admirable

@@Nick-pr9yn I can be Mother Teresa. I can also be Michael Corleone 😂.
There aren't many newspapers like Marion's left in this country; I feel sorry about the police and their very unprofessional behavior. When warrant approval is delegated to Magistrates, who are locals and may have an axe to grind, this unfortunately is what can happen.
Then they wussy out? They were afraid of being sued.
I was thinking I’d like reading about the cow on the highway again. I miss reading a real paper newspaper.
@Jen39x I would love to read about errant cantankerous cows and the various methods farmers may used to corral them back to their stables.
The simple way around this is swift and harsh penalties for those officials who should choose to violate citizens rights. So long as we have immunity to some people given by them selves, there can be no justice. They hold themselves to a significantly lower standard they they hold the average citizen.
If I live to be 98 I want to be brave enough to shout "arseholes" at Police acting illegally too. Joan you were quite a woman. Rest in peace.
This is the definition of ABUSE OF POWER.
Tragedy shines a light on the truth.
True
And cameras.
Every time I think I’ve seen the lowest rung of humanity, I realize there is a layer just beneath. Seven young officers tossed her house? Where were they raised? Who brought them up? This lady was 98. If they really thought there was something in the house, one officer could have knocked on the old girl’s door and said, “Ma’am, could we have a chat when you have a free moment.”
Bro I'm just surprised they didn't "fear for their life" when and bumped into 1 with her walker & then immediately emptying all 7 guns into her. It's a gang, period.
People in law enforcement know the steps to accessing records and who has the right to access records. Shame on the judge who signed the search warrant.
How unfortunate that the police chief is both unaware of the law and will be allowed to walk free after his resignation - RIP Joan.......and your "ass" ertation of Gideon and the officers raiding your home was spot on.
Typical in Kansas
He was aware of the law, they just took his word on it and didnt think twice until too late
@@BillieYoung-tl5qrNot just Kansas.
@@happyinparis I agree
What is wrong with you. ? He knows the law. He’s a criminal
By raiding the newspaper and taking all their computers and files, the police were effectively attempting to close down the paper and put it out of business. They knew the owners did not have the money to replace the seized equipment and continue to publish the paper. Luckily, a neighboring town’s newspaper stepped up and allowed them to use their resources to continue to operate.
I’m so angry about all the police misconduct and disregard for the first amendment. This case and the Maui governor/ police chief are just the ones we hear about. They have the power and will do anything to silence us… including a raid on a elderly disabled woman in her own home. Our country is failing apart.
But the media stirs it all up and gets ratings boosts from it.
Exactly!
I was just thinking this myself.
You're absolutely correct.
We are slowly losing our rights .
These men should be ashamed.
We are not slowly losing our rights, the country is not 'falling apart' , etc. You are simply finding out what's been going on, forever. This isn't news. Police departments have always and will ALWAYS protect each other, not the community. They have ALWAYS done this. They have ALWAYS been corrupted. The only difference now, is you're able to access that proof more readily than anyone has in the history of human kind.
No Jennifer. Regardless of what you think. Things aren't falling apart. Things are falling *right into place.*
Don't you understand what days we are living in? These are *Bible Times* spoken of in the word of God. He *IS* going to finish what He started, just like He said He would and whether folks believe in Him is *totally* irrelevant.
If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, I would behoove you to find Him......and find Him quickly. Because once the next event happens. *BOOM!* THEN - everyone is going to be playing ball by an entirely different set of rules. His gift (right now) is free. All you have to do is accept it, He already did all of the work.
Choose this day who you will serve because eternity is an awful long time, actually it isn't even *time* in the sense of what we know time to be.
I am amazed how Dr. Grande does such in depth investigations and opinions so quickly and accurately. Well done, as usual.
Just a reminder, he's not diagnosing in this video...Only speculating about what COULD be happening in a situation like this.
Police had no business raiding that woman house..as violent as they are becoming I’m surprised they didn’t have swat break the door down at 4am..I hope that son sues them.
Im suprised she didnt have a cardiac arrest right in the spot with the cops still there .
@@evonne315 Many heart attacks occur just after a stressful event ends.
And then there's the Australian cop who tasered a 95 year old lady and fractured her skull. This is what police have become.
Thank you Dr. Grande. I wish she had taken them down with her walker!! Definitely criminal or civil charges...RIP Miss Joan 🙏
What sort of person would stand around in a group and watch an elderly woman in a walking frame become more and more agitated over their unwelcome presence? These people are police officers and would be well aware of the stress that their actions were placing on the woman, yet none of them seemed to try and lower the concerns of the lady by withdrawing from her home? Did ALL of them need to be in plain sight of her? How proud they must've been felt, showing the power they can wield over her? Disgraceful!
Is the banality of evil. They’re told to be there and do that to her, so they don’t feel personally responsible about it. It’s their “orders.”
People lack empathy in todays age severely. Severely.
The same type who will kneel on your neck in front of a camera😑
Sooo cruel. Especially from seeing her on the tape, Joan seemed to be in remarkably good health physically and mentally for a 98 year old. Unfortunately her little home, serenity and private belongings were violated, and she went into shock afterwards. She could easily have had much more life to live. Elder abuse..disgusting behaviour from " protect and serve" advocates.
She paid Taxes all her Life to Empower the Law to harass & prematurely End her Life ! 😢 RIP
A corrupt criminal police man.
Unless I missed it, you didn't mention the fact that the judge who approved the raid had multiple DUIs also.
Thanks for that highly relevant pick up. Coincidence? I wonder what a jury of Joan’s peers would decide in a lawsuit?
Wow … damn
"but judges and attorneys answer only to a higher authority!" yeah, the good ol' boys' club.
Another fact I don't see anyone mentioning is that the restaurant owner had never gotten her driver's license restored and continued to drive illegally for years. How was she able to qualify for a liquor license for her restaurant?
I barely heard a snippet of this last night, thanks for all the details! In my personal opinion, if that raid had not happened that woman would not have passed away the following day. 🙏🏼 Also, who doesn't know that everything you do whether it be criminal or traffic is all public record??? Even bodycam footage can be requested.
She was 98.
@@helenmoss9740 yep, that's in the title.
@@helenmoss9740The sudden onset of all of those stress hormones can cause a cardiac event in a person of her age. Everything they did was illegal so yes they are at fault for this. Like Dr. Grande said they are not criminally liable, but probably will be held civilly liable.
@@helenmoss9740 So?
There's a thing called the freedom of information act. If my son was one of those officers I'd be so deeply, deeply ashamed of him. Did it make them feel like big men bullying a 98 year old woman?? If I had been told I was raiding a 98 year old woman's house I'd have said no I'm fxcking not! 7 officers for an old lady?? I'm surprised they didn't get swat and set off a flash grenade at 4am.
that old lady was great, she told those cops right where to go. I think it very rare for someone that old to commit crime. the moment those cops seen her they should have known there was a mistake and left while apologizing profusely for the intrusion. instead, they carried on like a bunch of mindless meat puppets.
Yes, the raid team could have averted this tragedy by acting in a humanitarian way. No 98 year old should be alone with this.
I bet those officers still smile in church and think they are white as snow.
The Police were just doing their jobs. They were probably scared to do or say anything for fear of retaliation of their 98 year old relative. Give it a rest - not all police officers are bad and evil. Geez
@katrinagraham7615 Why are you using the words 'bad and evil' about police officers? Do you have a problem with the police that you use such words?
This team needed to do their job AND behave in a humanitarian way towards a frail and vulnerable elderly woman. If that neant NOT being scared of their boss, but instead ringing in and saying they were shortening or abandoning the raid because the wrong resident was there, that was their public duty. They are PUBLIC servants. Is being thoughtful about a 98 year old something you would refuse to do?
@@janebrown7231 Unfortunately, in the fundamental attribution error (FAE) of "us" versus "them," even among Christians who claim to be saved sinners, personal insight is lacking these days.
@@katrinagraham7615A 98-year-old died because of the actions of a corrupt police chief, his complicit officers, and an irresponsible judge. If it’s easy for you to “let it go”, then you’re in no position to comment on the morality of law enforcement officers.
I think people subscribing from far away simply want to support the paper. They probably don't care what's in it. Good for them!
Wow it all sounds so trivial but you know that this little media outlet really got under the skin of some powerful people, the big fish in a small pond kind. It seems pretty obvious that they had the ability to make them regret messing with them, and they used that wherever they believed that they could get away with it.
I feel so very sorry for the 98yo mom. What a horribly invasive and scary experience that clearly had her feeling stressed and unsafe, and for no reason other than spite. Seeing her backed into a corner and trying to protect her supposedly safe space was very sad. That just felt like elder abuse
What??? A small town sherrif is petty and vindictive, and bends the law to get back at people who threatened his ego???? I can't believe it!!!!
They tried it in a small town. Look what happened.

The DUI conviction was definitely a matter of public concern, because it calls into question how a liquor license was ever granted in the first place. Just how carefully are the applicants getting screened?
I've been wondering that myself.
True.
Restaurants are often set up as corps or separate legal entities. I don't see any necessary connection between a businesses liquor license and an owner's personal driving record that has a 15 year old violation on it. How are those two things related? I would think there would be a statute of limitations anyway.
@@gosolxsolar I think it's because state law prohibits issuing liquor licenses to applicants with DUI convictions. Anywhere on the premises of any business. Applicant, in this case, was the owner. They never should have been given the license in the first place.
@LDiamondz the way the statutes read, you go into the backgrounds of the shareholders and officers of the corporation or separate entity.
So sorry to hear that she passed a day after this raid. The stress on her must of been huge.
Shocking raid with total disregard for this lady's age and health! 😡
Yes, they should have had an ambulance onsite and offered medical care the entire time.
What brutes! Hope ppl all over town give them the stink eye.
Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if her feckless scion of a son wasn’t still living with Mama.
Thank you for reporting this. How refreshing to know that Ms Joan’s dying question regarding good people would manifest ❤
I live in Reno County, not far from Marion.
I subscribe to their newspaper because it is one of the best, in my opinion, in the area and as our Newspaper was bought out by one of the big Corporations.
I'm outraged about this. It is unconscionable and is on the edge of unconstitutional, let alone harassment with no probable cause against a person of delicate heath.
Just despicable and I hope they are taken to court and that the family gets Justice for the early demise of their loved one !
It sounds like a small town full of busy-body's if you ask me. It's very sad that it led to the death of a 98-year-old woman. She might have lived to 100 if they had left her alone.🧚♀
"The raid was overkill." a rather witty way of describing it Dr. Grande:-)
"Busibodies typically don't harass the elderly. It's the lack of responsibility in the police department and judges in this case.
My goodness adult, professional decision-making processes are so off kilter. Poor Miss Joan having to stand up against a pack of law enforcement agents to her own demise. 🌹Thank you for shining a light on such revolting behavior. It really is time to open our eyes.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when Kansas' Finest bravely harasses a 98 year-old woman like this.

Criminal cops are so much worse than regular criminals.
fact
Not really. I've yet to see a cop mass school shooter.
That's an oxymoron. A criminal is a criminal, so they are one of the same.
@@skycloud4802 Regular criminals don’t have a union or qualified immunity that allows them to get away with their crimes in a biased corrupt court.
Was the judge drunk at the time she issued the warrant? Who in their right mind would make such a blunder?
She might very well have been. I understand that's one of her coping mechanisms.
Excellent as usual. But the one thing your story doesn't go into in-depth is the magistrate who authorized the warrants. Legal experts have said that it should have been obvious to any magistrate that the searches were illegal. They also said that too often the warrant process is just a way for police to launder their lack of probable cause through a complicit local judge. Her name is Laura Viar, and she has at least one DUI conviction in her own past which might make her sympathetic to the café owner's own past with a DUI. I think it's crooked all the way through. The DA was smart to quickly do the right thing and wash his hands of it
Wow, it's a town full of drunks.
@@Hatbox948 LOL! I guess there's not much else to do
Virtually every warrant the cops ask for they get.
Alcohol abusers support eachother, give excuses for eachother, cover for eachother and take it very very personal when you bust any of them for thier abuses. I think the DUI link is valid and sickening.
@@pamcroft844 I think that's probably true. They're all in the same club
The only thing that kept this podunk township from getting away with this was the national media attention that it got. I truly wonder how many other rights violations have happened there and in other small towns that we never hear about.
You don’t wanna know. Less with the commonality of recording. Fortunately the correct level of resolution is to focus on your podunk town, and feedback blast others like you reporting such things.
that town was rife to be a pedo den
@@chickenmonger123 yes, I do "wanna" know. No, that is not the correct level of resolution. Thanks anyway for your sage advice. 🙄
Absolutely. There's a 100% chance the officers used their power to settle personal vandettas all of the time. This behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Dont underestimated the violations in big towns and city. You find the same abuse of power everywhere.
The footage of the raid on the elderly lady’s home really upset me. My heart was racing, so imagine how this HOME INVASION affected her! I absolutely believe the stress of it caused her death.
@@49ersfan834 irrelevant
@@49ersfan834A sane person assumes a 98-year-old should not be subjected to any emotional distress.
Joel Ensey is the name of the county attorney that approved of the warrant before changing his mind after the fact (and with a little push from KBI). His sister in law owns the hotel that Karis restaurant is in. The liquor license was in the Ensey (hotel owners) name and expires at the end of august. The county attorneys brother (Hotel owners Husband) use to be the local hospitals CEO until an article the Marion Record wrote about some shady happenings there. He resigned shortly after. The vice mayor who's home was also raided by police has been a target of the mayor from asking some tough question regarding hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from the city.
Thank you. Name and shame them.
This is accurate. Also Cody had been demoted prior to going to work in Marion.
⬆️This all is important. And it reminds us all how essential the reporting is to democracy, and how important shield law and constitutional protections are to the reporting. This shouldn't have happened. It's not just that Joan Meyer was old, that's gaslighting, but more importantly, she was protected media, and committed no crime! This was corruption and criminality at all of the highest levels of justice and government in the county.
She called it!; "aresholes", and "where are the good people". Joan knew. And she knew we all needed to know about it too. Strength be with you Eric Meyer; Marion County Record. RIP Joan Meyer.
Excellent analysis, I think freedom of expression is something worth fighting every time.
Happy Sunday, Dr. Grande. I hope you have a great end of the weekend.❤
There’s absolutely nothing you can say that would “provoke” this abuse by the government. Nothing.
But abuse by the press is perfectly okay??
@helenmoss9740 bootlicker begone.
How exactly did the press abuse anyone? Looking up a tip on an open government website is not abuse. Looking into the background of a government official is not abuse. It's exactly the job of a free press.
@helenmoss9740 they committed no crimes. Law enforcement totally did. No reporter is entering homes rummaging through peoples personal belongings.
@@helenmoss9740 which abuse?
This proves Dr. Grande stays current on current events. 👍
Dr. Grande is always spot-on, because his analysis is based on the facts given, and logical conclusions, with a complete understanding of human behavior.
@msskellon Yeah it did seem he was a bit more harsh on him, like he already had an opinion of him beforehand. It wasn't as objective as others, that's for sure
It is sad that she was waiting for her meals on wheels.😢
I wish more people were like this woman. She was standing up for herself right to the end.
I live in Marion County, Texas, lol, in a small town with an equally small weekly newspaper. I had a subscription sent to my sister-in-law in Wyoming as this was her hometown. When she finished reading the paper, she sent it on to her Oregon relatives who absolutely loved it. You never know what people will be interested in.😊❤️💙
Dr. Grande, there are a few details you unfortunately missed in the video. Reason for the newspaper obtaining information about the restaurant owner's 2008 dwi conviction, is because said conviction would prevent her under state law, from obtaining a liquor license for her restaurant. The paper also never published the story but did report the possibility of the restaurant owner driving while suspended to the police, which likely set the whole thing in motion. There is also speculation the police department knew of the woman's suspended license yet never did anything about it due to her political connections. The event where the reporters were asked to leave was a speech by a state political representative of the Republican party. Moreover, given the fact both prosecutors and the local judge signed off on the warrant, reeks heavily of widespread county corruption which is unfortunately all too common in small Midwest towns.
The paper got an tip about Kerry's dui. They decided not to publish anything about it because they thought that it originated from her estranged husband: they were in the process of divorcing. Shortly thereafter Kerry brought up the matter at a city council meeting, apparently accusing the paper of malfeasance in obtaining the information. It was only after Kerry made her DUI and driver's license suspension public herself that the newspaper published an article defending itself from her accusations. Prior to Kerry's complaint at the city counsel meeting her driving record was not known by the general public.
If any Americans believe that fascism isn't here you're deadass wrong.
Yup under dictatorship.
This isn’t even fascism, just a petty abuse of power. Fascism is an actual political philosophy.
And it's brought to you by the LEFT.
They tried it in a small town. Look what happened.
A bar owner with a liquor license who is driving without a valid driver’s license because of a DUI is 100% a valid story to report on. Did she really follow other laws, such as not serving people too much or not serving folks she knew were driving drunk? It’s valid to be concerned by her behavior considering her role in the community. That poor woman spent the last hours of her life worried her son may be arrested and her legacy ruined, that is so very sad.
This case has so many layers. You could have made this one a couple hours! It’s interesting that the judge had at least one previous drunk driving conviction, but nothing on record as for her sentence. It’s like it disappeared or she was never sentenced ! Also, the chief prosecutor either owns or closely related to the person who owns the hotel where Kerri Newell leases to have her restaurant. The are all in cahoots!!!
The major and police chief had a meeting but the paper isn't saying what they said because they aren't talking. There is absolutely no reason for Mag and Kari's husband to be interviewed before any raid was even on anyone's thoughts. That doesn't make sense either. The paper has an article about it.
@@keithwiebe1787 thanks! I’ll have to go read the article. I double checked and the judge has 2 drunk driving charges that doesn’t appear she indicated on legal paperwork. I hope the state bar chooses to discipline her.
It was ridiculous to issue a general search warrant for a newspaper office. The warrant was issued by a magistrate with 8 months experience on the bench; unaware of the 4th Amendment, and (impossibly) unaware these were public records.
What a cluster. And I think it's worth noting that the paper had chosen NOT to publish what they had on the woman.
One of your best stories yet. Well done!
Absolutely deplorable behavior by the Chief and for what end? A 98 year old so stressed that she suffers agitation and anxiety and dies. His troubles in KC just became minor compared to this.
I appreciate that you upload as soon as you do Dr Grande, but sometimes I wish you would upload at a specific time every day so I can run around screaming "Ten minutes to Grande!" in a RainMan-esque fashion.
It's time for Grande!!!!

In Australia a police officer tased a 95 year old lady called Clare Nowland, who had dementia, in a treatment room of her retirement village because she was shambling towards them with a walking frame and holding a steak knife.
She later died of the injuries sustained in the resulting fall.
The police commissioner refused to watch the body cam footage, claiming it to be unnecessary because she's been told what was on it.
A police officer in Portland Oregon pulled down the pants of a suspect. Then she tazed his genitals for 20 plus seconds.
If any of this gets in front a jury, any jury, that town is going bankrupt.
Has the whole world gone off their rockers? What is wrong with people? What happened to decency and respect? Love thy neighbor as thyself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Thank you Dr Grande.😢❤
rip joan meyer. hope the chief burns in hell.
Great point. I live in KCMO and have very low opinion of them.
This raid was so unfortunate. And the worst part is we never get to find out whether that police officer loves his mother.
I'm goung to bet he doen't, otherwise he would not have let his officers behave this way. I'll even go as far as to say his mother didn't raise him to show any respect.
Unlike the police officers mother, who was not violated, the paper owners mother, who co-owned it, was protected, as well as the material they seized, under the Shield Law Statute, as well as the the First and Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Which is why this raid, and Joan Meyer's subsequent death, matters to the rest of us.
I was hoping you would do a video on this Dr Grande. I think there were a few bruised egos involved in that raid. Thanks again.
I subscribe to 2 small towns newspapers. I have never been to either town. In order to continue reading a story online, I had to pay a small fee. I love the stories , so that might be why.
Your sarcastic dismissal of a small town newspaper as only reporting on things like loose cows was the one sour note in this video. Our country has not been made better, safer, or more knowledgeable by the widespread loss of local investigative journalism. It's something we need to rebuild and I commend the family for maintaining it in their area.
Yeah, this was very unnecessary. Just to piss off dr G I will subscribe to that newspaper.
He was pointing out that it wasn't going to be interesing to anyone outside the area, and he's right.
@@nellyshea7807 You must surely know he wouldn't care if you subscribe or not.
@@It-is-me...Melsie That is just your and his OPINION as you can see from many reactions here.
@@It-is-me...Melsie What makes you feel you need to answer for him?
I’m from a village of 2,000 people. It never ceases to amaze me how places of that size in the United States have so many institutions and businesses. My village has one primary school, one shop and two pubs, and that is it. (Actually it also has a university, but that is obviously highly atypical.) The idea of its having a newspaper would be laughable.
Rest in peace, Joan. I'm sorry you were treated this way. "Where are the good people?" is the right question to ask.
Things were never like this in Mayberry. Sheriff Andy Taylor ran a pretty tight ship in those parts.
Oh, for the good old days 😃
Andy Taylor is a fictional character. The show was fiction. Comparing fiction to reality is never wise. Shows a lack of identifying what's real and what's not.
@@bl4558 It was a joke. Don't take everything so seriously
Great great job calling out these bullies!
"He appeared to be bold, reckless, Impulsive and hypersensitive to criticism." Yes, exactly the wrong personality to be in law enforcement. Also fun fact: Magistrates generally don't have law degrees the exception is Federal. Swear on a bible and 123 you can be a magistrate. Might explain the Improper Warrant.
Swearing on a book of fiction is problematic too.
This one actually does have a law degree, and she had been the county prosecutor for years before becoming magistrate.
But she did have a history of drunk driving convictions, and she may have failed to disclose that. So, she might not have an actual license after all of this is reported to the state Bar association!
That’s so interesting. In Australia Solicitors need a Law degree before they progress to the Bar then only after that can they become Magistrates.
@@wendybond2848 We have both judges and magistrates. Until this happened, I thought they meant the same thing! But it’s never simple here. I think it all depends on which state you’re in. It still seems shady to me!
Yeah from Washburn LOL "Do you know you want to work the criminal justice field, but you need a bachelor’s degree, too? Our Fast Track program will allow you to complete the BCJ + MCJ at Washburn in five years!" I'm getting better call saul vibes The University of American Samoa. @@mkuti-childress3625
I would like to correct you there, doc. I live in DC and have a great interest in bovine, how they perform their great escapes and what roads they prefer to travel.
It’s hard to sue public officials if they can successfully prove they were acting in a legal capacity. They did have a warrant but seem to have exceeded what it covered.
Not if the search warrant is based off of bs
The may not be criminally responsible but their actions definitely aggravated that woman so much that it could have contributed.
Drunk driving is unacceptable. When one chooses to drink and drive, they're selfishly putting other lives at risk. I've lost 2 close family members to drunk drivers, so it's not an insignificant crime, no matter how many years have passed.
My heart goes out to that poor little lady, Joan, who passed away due to elder abuse (bullying via a search warrant).
This woman didn’t want a handful of people in a small town to know that she had a DUI and now the entire country knows about it. And any cop from Kansas City should probably be in jail.
What's that they say about "trying it in a small town"??
What a terrible day for the 98 year old lady, her comments show that she had more dignity than the 7 police officers who attended. I sincerely hope that there is a full investigation to ensure this does not happen to anyone else!
It appears that Gideon’s job history might not be conducive to his current job?
I have seen reports that police officers can be fired by one US police authority and then gain a job working for another US police authority, I’m not sure if this happens in other US public services such as fire departments etc as well?
Justice must be served for the sake of the 98 year old lady especially as the video showed how upset she was due to the heavy handed execution of the warrants which had been obtained by false means!
You also missed the fact that the prosecution did not return All the records to the Marion County Record. They kept their computer access information
I would absolutely sue them if I was him. You can access public record and it's not a crime.
I have been reading about this case and it's a very sad story. No further comments on the internet. So sad..... stay safe everyone
I'm impressed these hero cops didn't manhandle and arrest the old lady.
I'm glad that she was so angry with them. I hope those cops go to sleep at night hearing her call them assholes and wondering if their mom's love them
Morning Dr Grande 😊 off to work today - thanks for a vid to start it off well !
Dr. Grande, you are my favorite RUclipsr and I appreciate everything you do! Thanks for another entertaining video!
Hey Dr. Grande, I’ve been loving your videos for years now.
I’m curious of your take on personality tests like the Enneagram, Briggs Meyers, and their comparisons to astrology and numerology, as well as the validity of each. I’d really like to see a video of your analysis of each of these.
In this day and age with everything moving so fast and information coming at me from every direction, I would love a newspaper with not much more to report on than a cow getting loose. I just might subscribe. Sounds like taking a load off.
Agreed
The raid was "over kill"...yeah, it may have precipitated the death of a 98 year old woman, no?
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande!
That's terrible! I saw the video of the elderly lady protesting the police accessing her home. Poor dear! Don't mess with old people! They'll die just to get even with you!
Shame on the judge who granted that warrant!
I think that the raid on her home and due to her age the police did bring on her death after getting her extremely upset. Sad 😢 there probably won't be any justice for her.
Oh it’s sad that from now on, I can’t feel your video summaries of other circumstances are thorough to the facts as you left out broadly available details, which are key to the context of this story. The paper chose to not publish a story about the restaurant owner, feeling they were being manipulated by her divorce proceedings, and instead approached the police about the information they were provided, since it was so suspect of intention. Instead of asking the paper for further details, the police manufactured this scheme.
Thank you for sharing this story Dr. Grande!
