How later courts describe this case

  • finding defendants’ assertions of disruption were not outweighed by plaintiffs’ police officers’ speech
  • complaint alleging police officers were retaliated against because they sought to expose wrongdoing leads to the "inevitable” conclusion that their First Amendment rights were breached, despite the balancing of interests
  • the heightened standard requires a complaint to provide “some factual detail ... especially if [the court is] to be able to see that the allegedly violated right was clearly established when the allegedly wrongful acts occurred”
