Ex-Cop's First Amendment Fight Over Protest, Job
Description
Former Phoenix police sergeant, Dusten Mullen, lost his bid to return to work while fighting a lawsuit against the city. He was fired after attending a protest in Chandler, off-duty, armed, masked, and expressing political views. The police chief cited community trust as the reason for termination. Mullens lawsuit argues his actions were protected by the First Amendment. A federal judge acknowledged a strong case but denied reinstatement, stating Mullen could recover lost income if he wins. The case is now proceeding in federal court.
