“Plaintiff did not, in fact, cite to any post which she ever made which she contends actually constitutes a statement concerning a matter of ‘public concern,’” wrote city attorney Keimer Raymond in court papers. The city moved to dismiss the complaint earlier this month. She also said that she is being targeted due to her gender, while male officers routinely post similar content. McBride argues she is being targeted for speaking out to her 123,000 Instagram followers on an issue of public concern - the safe ownership and use of firearms. The pictures come just two days after McBride filed an amended complaint in her lawsuit against Chief Michel Moore and the LAPD alleging the top cop personally blocked promotions for McBride because she would not remove videos and photos of her at shooting competitions and firing ranges. Officer Toni McBride, a trained sharpshooter who earned “Top Shot” in the LAPD police academy, showed off her JW3 TTI MPX Taran Tactical 9mm alongside her husband and wedding party in photos posted online Thursday.
A Los Angeles police officer who sued the chief after she claimed she was denied promotions due to her firearm-heavy social media feed recently posted photos of herself holding a semiautomatic firearm at her wedding.
