Because the 1st amendment protects the right to express opinions, without government censorship or retaliation. It could be argued that the PD making fun of the person in a FB post is retaliation, even if it was just low level in nature. It might prevent others from voicing their true opinions for "fear" of being singled out.
That’s not what “retaliation” means in the context of freedom of expression. It’s far from being censorious as well. Making fun of someone is completely within the bounds of the law. You could easily make the case that it’s not good from a PR standpoint, but no one forced this guy to post his public opinion on a public forum. If you really think that’s the case, then any cop laughing someone protesting the police in a viral video could qualify as well.

Piss on that dude. You made a public comment - lets make it viral. Long haired fat hippie looks like he won't have to worry about his HR dept calling him.

So, you admit that the law doesn't allow it. Correct.
I dont, sorry try again.
I'd add "pride before a fall" to anyone actively antagonizing cops thinking they're not going to have a bad time

I don’t know where the idea that you say whatever you want to cops and they can’t say anything back came from but it seems to be rampant these days.

If you have real complaints, you should be filing real reports not whining on FB.
I agree. But sometimes a police department doesn’t take formal complaints well. Say just like New Orleans as I’ve experienced first hand and they ignore them outright. So being able to blast them publicly might light a fire under them

Nothing you're alluding to seems to square with "the law allows it."

That's pretty funny. Michael seems like a little bitch
