Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit July 21, 1986, No. 85-1893 (Reeder v. Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners)

ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

This case is a challenge, under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, to a Missouri statute which prohibits members of the Kansas City Police Force from participating in or contributing money to political causes and campaigns. No such drastic prohibition on political activity applies to police in other Missouri cities.
