Well, freedom of speech goes both ways. They should be as free to spew bullshit as any American is. At the same time, they should be shit-canned for lying to civilians, just like any of us would be fired for calling a nigger a nigger in front of an HR director at the office. Just playing devil's advocate here, really. Cops ought to be held to a higher standard.

Not in the execution of public office, that's not your personal speech anymore.

Cops should be able to lie about some things, but they need to be required to tell the truth about some things. Like the reason for an arrest or a detention, or reading you your rights.
