Yes a person has a right to express his views. However a person needs to respect the stance of his employers. E.g. A hospital takes an anti-abortion stance while some of its employees are pro-choice. It's employees are free to express their opinions as individuals. Its not a problem until they show up at a pro-choice protest in their uniforms idenfying them as employees from the hospital. It then confuses the public on the hospital's stance.

In regards to the police, they were to be harmless jokes and they're expressing their opinions. There's nothing wrong with that. The main concern is how the public may interpret the videos which may confuse them of the state's stance in issues such as racism and homosexuality. If the videos in no way idenfied them as actual police officers (as opposed to people pretending to be officers), there would be no problems.

It's not a question of the right to express personal views, it's whether it left entities open to misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
