Presume the fоllоwing fаcts аnd then аddress the questiоns below (these are very similar facts to Assessment 3 but some facts have been slightly changed and the questions posed are different so please read carefully). Presume Greenville is a small city in Indiana. Greenville recently opened Riverfront Commons Park, which includes a stage designated for public use. The stage and surrounding park area have historically been used for public expression, including speeches, demonstrations, and community gatherings, and are open to the public for expressive activity on a first-come, first-served basis without prior reservation. The area is considered a traditional public forum. The City enforces content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions: sound amplification is prohibited before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. due to nearby residential concerns, and during permitted hours amplification may be used as long as it does not exceed 90 decibels. The stage has been used by a wide variety of groups and individuals, and prior to the below event, no group or individual was prohibited from using the stage as long as the above requirements were met. Riverfront Commons Park is located adjacent to the Greenville Civic and Conference Center. On October 14, 2025, the Conference Center hosted a large immigration reform rally. The City Police Department publicly supported and promoted the event as part of its efforts to encourage civic engagement. Blake, a Greenville resident, holds views that favor significantly stricter immigration policies, which are opposed to the views of those attending the rally. At 1:30 p.m. on October 14, 2025, as attendees were arriving at the rally, Blake began speaking from the stage. Using a sound amplification device below 90 decibels, Blake read excerpts from some court cases that had taken stronger stances on immigration. Because of the amplification, Blake’s speech was clearly audible to individuals entering the Conference Center. Some attendees became visibly upset and complained to Officer Andy, who is a Greenville police officer assigned to patrol the park and Conference Center.  Assume Blake’s speech did not include fighting words, true threats, or incitement to violence. Officer Andy, who is not considered a final decision maker for the City, was unsure at first how to handle the situation, because Greenville had never had a situation like this arise before. There was also no clear City policy addressing this situation. Ultimately, Officer Andy decided he needed to do something due to people at the rally being upset. As such, at 2:00 p.m., Officer Andy told Blake that he could no longer use the amplification device on the stage. Blake asserted that the City, through Officer Andy, was infringing his free speech rights, because without amplification his readings could not be heard by people entering the rally. Officer Andy responded that Blake's speech was hurtful to the people attending the rally and that the City had the right to limit his speech to an appropriate volume to avoid unnecessarily upsetting attendees at the immigration reform rally. Andy also asserted that the City was providing ample alternative channels because Blake could still speak on the stage (just not with amplification). The City had previously trained the City's police officers, including Officer Andy, about not infringing on people's free speech rights, but at the time Officer Andy made his decision to stop Blake's speech that day, Officer Andy did not recall the U.S. Supreme Court's 2011 holding in Snyder v. Phelps (a case that drew a lot of attention in the media). In Snyder, the United States Supreme Court addressed whether speech by members of a church was protected after they picketed "near a soldier's funeral service" and held "signs [that] reflected the church's view that the United States is overly tolerant of sin and that God kills American soldiers as punishment." 562 U.S. 443, 447 (2011). The Court found that "the church members had the right to be where they were" and held that the speech was protected by the First Amendment. Id. at 457. Specifically, the Court stated: Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and—as it did here—inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker. As a Nation we have chosen a different course—to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate. Id. at 460-61. Blake asserted that both Officer Andy, in his individual capacity, and the City, through Officer Andy's actions, were infringing on his Free Speech rights. Officer Andy argued that the message being delivered by Blake was politically divisive speech that was upsetting people attending the immigration rally and that the City had the right to stop that sort of speech. Alternatively, Officer Andy argued that even if he violated Blake's constitutional rights, he should be entitled to immunity, because he did not recall the Supreme Court's holding in Snyder at the time he suppressed Blake's speech.  Blake subsequently files a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seeking monetary damages against both Officer Andy (in his individual capacity) and the City of Greenville for violation of his First Amendment rights. Analyze and advise whether Blake would likely succeed if he brought a civil lawsuit for monetary damages under Section 1983 against Officer Andy in his individual capacity. Please explain both your analysis and your conclusion in that regard. In your response, you should also address whether Officer Andy could claim any immunity under the law, and why or why not. (2.4 points) Analyze and advise whether Blake would likely succeed if he brought a civil lawsuit for monetary damages under Section 1983 against the City for the violation of his First Amendment right to free speech. Please explain your full analysis and your conclusion in that regard (hint: you should analyze all three categories in your response).  (3 points)
