And Trumps entire team believes climate change is fake news - this alone will lead the US and the world with it into a desaster.

>Police regularly shoot black people
I don't see a correlation between this and an increase in hate speech. Or really, even, evidence that police shooting of minorities is on the rise, or that hate speech is on the rise. I'm open to be challenged with new data, though.
>Climate change
Again, a very very big problem (I personally believe Trump's POV on climate change combined with his significant power should beget him the title "enemy of humanity"), but I really don't understand what that would have to do with hate speech.
I have done very little research on climate change and have nothing to discuss with reference to the matter, but the suggestion that such a person should not be allowed to express his views because they violate the narrative pushed by the corporate media is absurd.

If you don't like the laws, work to change them. Don't demonize those who are enforcing them.
We didn't accept "just following orders" at the Nuremburg trials, and those defendants could have been executed for disobeying. I don't see why we should accept it at home from police officers whose only risk is losing their job.
