Residents who learned about the incident the next morning were shell-shocked, wondering how burglars co...

Philly cops fired over offensive Facebook posts can pursue First Amendment claim, court rules

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:25:11 GMT

A dozen Philadelphia police officers who were fired or suspended for racist and violent social media posts can pursue a lawsuit against the city claiming their First Amendment rights were violated, a federal appeals court ruled.The officers’ social media accounts were included in a database, published in 2019, that catalogued thousands of bigoted or violent posts by active-duty and former police officers in several states. In Philadelphia, nearly 200 officers were disciplined, including 15 who were forced off the job. Twelve officers subsequently filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city, asserting the police department had retaliated against them for exercising their First Amendment rights.A federal judge dismissed the suit last year, agreeing with the city’s argument that the officers’ posts had undermined public trust in the department and violated the city’s social media policy. The plaintiffs “played racist bingo, mocking as many ethnic or re...
