HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
Michael Hasty brought an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the defendants — the City of Gladstone Missouri (the City); William P. Ademo, Director of Public Safety for the City (Director Ademo); and Steven L. Clark, Captain of the City’s Law Enforcement Bureau (Captain Clark)—took adverse employment action against him for exercising his First Amendment right to free speech.
