98-year-old woman confronts police raiding her home

Newly released video shows Joan Meyer, a 98-year-old co-owner of a local paper in Kansas, confronting police officers who were searching her home. Meyer died the day after the search. The police said they searched the home investigating "identity theft," but a prosecutor later withdrew the search warrant. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident.

Wow. At nearly 100 yrs old, she still had the presence of mind. RIP ma'am. 😢

[cometomatt]

she burned her last bit of energy to confront the police

[korefaust]

This is why our JUDGES need to be checked

[ppckryy]

She felt violated in her own home. That's traumatizing. Especially to the elderly. So sad.

[colonelangus]

The judge who signed the warrant needs to answer for their crime.

[icare]

She had more balls than all those cops

[Nosajsmith]

Can you imagine being a person who treats an old lady like this?

[FQuintanaMarrero]

And the lady died as a consequence of that raid …? I can see a lawsuit issued immediately.

Having your house filled with cops is not the stress you need at that age. God rest her soul.

Edit: If you hate the fourth amendment I invite you to not reply to this comment. You’re all boot lickers

Was it worth it? This was the biggest insult to human dignity. The stress killed her.

[wfyymij]

This is absolutely disgusting, that poor woman.

This is very sad to see...I have a 95 year old mom and if she had to go thru something like this I would be livid and I would sue.

[mayasturgeon]

She may not have known she’d die later, but she went out standing her ground and I love that

[KeepItNmotion]

She was moving around good. They stressed that woman to death smh

[kevinduncan]

The newspaper needs to sue the police department for 25 billion dollars

[jeffkwame]

RIP grandma.These guys ended grandma's days on earth, what piss grandma off was blocking her way from seeing what the cops doing in her home

[lancejensen]

Anytime a judge issues a warrant that ends up getting withdrawn, they should be investigated.

[rusmct]

They can return the phones and computers, but they can't return her life.

[hsimpson]

The police basically killed that woman. They should be liable. As they found nothing.

[wiekyoe]

After they upset the old woman so much she died.They should be charged with harrassment.
