There are multiple elements to this video, far beyond what can be discussed here.  Many assumptions have been made about what School Security Officer Wesley Cheeks did in asking for the sign to be removed and in making the unprofessional statement he did.  Perhaps, SSO Cheeks is just as upset about what is going on with our government as the protesters are.  SSO Wesley Cheeks is employed by the local school board for the  for ensuring the safety, security, and welfare of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors in the assigned school - whether it is a school sponsored event or not.  It is possible that the sign was in violation of school board policies which he is obliged to enforce.  Under Virginia law, he does have the right to detain persons for such violations if there is "reasonable suspicion." In the end, was the sign left up?  Was the person detained?  We don't know for sure. I believe in our Freedom of Speech and Expression.   I am no expert on where the line is drawn.

A good law enforcement person is only to do the work of maintaining  safety and peaceful order of a local area when there are a large number of people, not get into political debate, even when he or she disagrees with the position of a single person or a group of persons protesting.

Justice character in "Smokey and the Bandit", except "Butt" Cheeks ads an element of racism and (yes, I dare say it) Nazism to his real life role.   And when the administration's (and this cop's) actions are more subtle than this poster's alleged message of Nazism , people can call for it to stop. Well, back on topic!
