Kansas state patrol needs to step in and take over this situation, hopefully ending with the prosecution of the police chief for abuse of power and manslaughter. If they don't act soon, the FBI needs to investigate both organizations.

Not just the police chief. They need immediate investigation into magistrate who authorized this raid basically signed their name to a raid that blatantly violates constitutional rights and ignores over 100 years of legal precedence

Why would the state patrol possibly want to do anything about this? Cops are cops, and cops protect each other from perceived enemies.

Yes. But sometimes the shitbirds make enough shit that the shit starts to run uphill, and the staties get involved so some politicians don't have to deal with even more shit.
