I actually thought that was pretty funny.

Remember, a sense of humor is a terrible thing to waste.

If anything, the caption is mocking the Berkeley police officer for being so callus.

I don't care what this Philadelphia police officer does in his private life. He could be clergy in the Church or a grand wizard in the K.K.K. So long as he is an upstanding officer in his professional capacity, it shouldn't matter. These people do not live in a vacuum. They are allowed to have opinions. As long as that opinion is not preached while wearing the uniform, I have no issues and neither should his police department.

He has freedom of choice, he could have chosen to be a spokesperson for Coke Cola, If he had if he publicly said Pepsi was better then Coke he would be exercising his freedom of speech, he would also be choosing a different career. He chose a career in public Relations. He had freedom of choice. everyone one of us has a job and everyone of us chooses to limit our freedom of expression to keep them. That applies to the police as well. He is paid to make split second decisions, he is paid to have common sense and 90% of his job, if he is any good at it is diplomacy. "Officer you stated under oath that your decision to arrest the Defendant Rain, was based on the law, and not personal bias. Here we have a picture on your face book page stating you hate Hippies," Showing blown up picture to jury," my client Rain is clearly a Hippie. You have clearly discriminated against my client based on her politics." This officer made a well thought out and premeditated decision to limit his ability to do his job. Its like a Pianist cutting off his thumbs. That is not a attack on his rights. Its like a mechanic throwing away his tool box. Carlos Show up to work without your Camera. See how long you keep your Job. Of course you are a Freelance Photographer because you choose Freedom. He has the same choices everyone else has. If he wants free speech he can become a COMIC. The Joke was pretty funny.He chooses to keep his Job. SO does everyone else.
As a public employee his employer is bound by the constitution, he already has extra rights in the work place, Private employees, or the rest of us have Private employers who may be bound by some laws, but as private citizens are not bound by the constitution. I can be fired for any reason. He cannot. He is extra special. So my heart does not bleed for him.

To add to the meme.
