8. I'm not holding them to the same standard in any way, shape or form

Yes, the cop should be held to a higher standard - I'm glad he lost his job, and if there are any avenues for filing criminal charges against him for making the threat, they should be vigorously pursued.

Yes, she has First Amendment rights, although I'm not sure why you think the First Amendment has anything to do with this; I'm not saying that she should face any kind of legal repercussions for the picture.

I'm just saying that it's a bit disenguous of her to act like she has no idea where this came from, like it was some kind of random thing. And it's also kind of odd that she posted such a picture and then implied that she's raising her child to respect the police. While I personally don't care how she raises her child (that's her business, not mine), it's laughable to make that implication while having that kind of photo for her profile picture.
