Another First Amendment Retaliation Case Involving a Police Officer
Friday, January 10, 2014 Julie Tappendorf
For local government officials, the more relevant discussion is contained in Judge Easterbrook's concurring opinion. While he agrees with the outcome of the case, he asserts that because elected officials (Mayor and City Council members) have a First Amendment protected right to bring charges against the police officers, they should not have been sued for exercising their constitutional rights. He would have dismissed the case on those grounds rather than get to the merits.
