LAFD Capt. Frank Lima filed a lawsuit alleging his free speech rights were violated after discipline from the LAFD for attending a protest supporting hotel workers.
The protest Lima attended involved members of Unite Here Local 11 and was covered by the media due to multiple arrests, with Lima never charged according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also raised issues about advice from the Los Angeles City Attorney's office regarding officials' involvement in labor disputes, contrasting it with past support for labor unions.
Lima asserts that at the protest, he wore a shirt with the IAFF logo signifying his role as a union leader, emphasizing his stance in the demonstration.
