I don't agree with that statement but he's well within his rights to say them and trying to get him fired over it is just wimpy snowflake behavior. Some guy really doesn't like police. Big deal. Until he actually tries to incite or commit violence he's only guilty of having a bad opinion.

It's very sad how little regard Americans have for the First Amendment. Put the pitchforks down and engage him with facts, logic and reason. Decency in discourse is possible, but the way to get there isn't through making it illegal to drink tea without your pinky raised.
