Gee....wonder what would happen if a White office said a similar thing about the murder of a Black child?In a sane world neither should be fired for expressing free speech even if it is vile.
We do not live in a sane world.

In a sane world no one would make such a vile statement.

I am not sure I quite agree with that. There are outrageous things you can say that may reveal you are unfit for a given position. Like someone who proclaims his sexual attraction to children being fired from a teaching position.
Let me also point out there is a difference between being fired and being arrested. Even so, free speech is not an absolute right (e.g., erroneously shouting fire in a crowded theater).
But, yes, it is a slippery slope.
