TL;DR Summary

Surveillance video footage has been released showing 98-year-old Joan Meyer, co-owner of a Kansas newspaper, shouting at officers to leave her home during a police raid. The raid, which occurred the day before Meyer's death, was later found to have no legal basis. The search warrants were withdrawn, and all seized items were ordered to be returned. The raid was prompted by the newspaper's investigation into allegations against a local sweets shop owner and the city's police chief. Meyer's son blames her death on the stress caused by the raids, which he likened to "Gestapo tactics."
