1Opinion of the Court
ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
To hear Officer James McGreal tell the story, something is rotten in the Village of Alsip. After running against the mayor and losing by a narrow margin, McGreal found himself the target of a campaign to remove him from his long-held post as an Alsip police officer. He sued the Village of Alsip, the town’s Chief of Police, a police lieutenant, and a psychologist retained by the Village to assess McGreal’s fitness for duty. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, and McGreal appeals. We reverse and remand.
