Summary
Phoenix is fighting back in court to dismiss a lawsuit from ex-officer Dusten Mullen, who showed up masked and armed to a student protest—claiming he wanted to be arrested on film. His actions, including wearing a Trump 2024 shirt and appearing suspicious after federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, led to his firing. Mullen argues he was terminated politically and his free speech rights were violated, even appealing through the Civil Service Board. But Phoenix insists his own behavior—not his politics—caused his dismissal, saying due process was followed and his lawsuit lacks merit.
