At the absolute bare minimum, if it's your job to enforce the law, you should understand the foundational framework that those laws operate within. The constitution.
There's an amendment that says you do have a right to hate speech. The supreme court has upheld that right. Hate speech is a meaningless speech category as far as the law is concerned. You have freedom of speech, period, not just the freedom to say things that don't offend anyone.
I know you know all this, but it's baffling that the cop doesn't. He either needs to learn the content and spirit of the laws he's meant to enforce, or they need to find better cops to replace him.
They just don't care. They see themselves as some sort of occupying army that is at odds with the population. Holding back the chaos lol. Cops only care about power. That's why that fool arrested this man. Because he knows the man doesn't have the power to fight back.
