VHSer, you're a moron.
Yeah, some guy can express his opinion by calling the police Nazis repeatedly while they're doing their jobs, but that's still slander and defamation of character, which, by law, is generally not allowed. So when you're calling the people who enforce such laws things like "Nazis" (and yelling it very loudly outside in a rural neighborhood), you're pretty much breaking the law right in their faces.
If the man wanted to call the police in general Nazis, or even the specific officers, he's allowed to. But when he's yelling it at them in public while they're trying to do their jobs, that's a whole different story.
Seriously, how can you be so stupid and blindly patriotic to think that free speech allows people to say whatever horrible things they want about certain people or groups, regardless of where they are or how obnoxiously they're doing it? Do you think it was wrong for Michael Richards to get in trouble for using a racial slur repeatedly during one of his performances referring to members of the audience? Do you really think our society is so backward that we should have absolutely no limits on how far you can go?
This is how a democracy works, people are free to express themselves, but when they go too far like this they're punished. Instead of whining about it, accept it, and if you really don't like these necessary limitations, perhaps you'd be happier living under an anarchy.
