It’s definitely a confusing title though, as the pronoun “his” seems way more likely to refer to the police chief than the “paper”.

- TheFreim 3y agoHow many newspapers engage in raids upon police chiefs? Clearly it's the police who is doing the raiding.
- JshWright 3y agoThe title doesn’t say the newspaper engaged in the raid. There are other agencies that could raid a police chief’s home. It would be reasonable to assume some agency like the FBI conducted the raid based on the same information that prompted the investigation. That’s not actually the case here, but I think that is a way more plausible reading of the sentence.
- froggit 3y agoAgreed. Last I checked, papers don't have a gender, therefore a gender specific pronoun is incorrect. Regardless, the title has since been edited. Controversy resolved, maybe now we can discuss the topic x.x
