   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3910
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff, a police officer, sent a video to an 
   officers' text group critical of the Black Lives Matter protests and then 
   was forced to resign his position. Held: The video expressed a message 
   unrelated to plaintiff's official duties; the speech, which commented 
   critically on the Black Lives Matter movement and press coverage of police 
   shootings, involved a matter of public concern; considering the content, 
   form and context of the speech, plaintiff's complaint stated a claim for 
   First Amendment retaliation, and the district court erred in dismissing 
   the complaint. Judge Loken, concurring.
