I don't think it's about that; I simply have no idea what this has to do with entrepreneurship, startups, or technology.

This is an opinion piece about something in the news involving politics.

Plus, this doesn't portray police in a particularly positive light. In it he says basically: 'Don't want to get shot? Do what I say when I say it, because I have the power to kill you and you don't know if I've been having a bad day today or not.' That's is totally absurd; so I don't think flagging it is denying cops freedom of speech.

It's important to remember that HN has always been about more than entrepreneurship, startups, and technology. Maps of the Roman Empire are more than welcome to hang out here [1]. The mandate is: anything of intellectual interest.

Inflammatory posts on hot issues excite a different kind of interest, which is why stories like the OP are mostly off-topic here.
