A judge in Maryland has decided to dismiss a lawsuit for a planned ‘Blue Lives Matter’ rally back in the summer of 2016. The police officer who planned the rally felt his constitutional rights had been violated.

The Frederick News Post has reported, “U.S. District Court Chief Judge James K. Bredar granted a motion to dismiss the case Tuesday. He wrote Daniel Sullivan didn’t clearly show what measures the Frederick Police Department took to retaliate, noting Sullivan was cleared of any wrongdoing and hasn’t been demoted.

Sullivan’s complaint said he organized the July 2016 rally to advocate for the safety of police and dialogue with anti-police groups. He said the department encouraged him to cancel the event and conducted an internal investigation without proper protocol.

Sullivan says he plans on moving forward with the case.”
