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

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:44:07 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.

The plaintiffs “played racist bingo, mocking as many ethnic or re...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:44:07 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado's expenses, labor economics, education levels and culture all play a role in low fertility. It looks like a statewide low sex drive might have something to do with it, too.Colorado's birth rate has been sliding and is one of the lowest rates in the U.S. now.
