Can he legally threaten us like that?
There's two parts to the law: theory and practice. In theory, his statement may be illegal, but even that is murky. In practice, he can say anything he wants because he's a cop.
He's not threatening anybody specific, and he's not actually suggesting that other people behave in this manner. So, it's not an imminent threat or incitement to violence. I just read a little about Texan law... they really love their freedom in Texas (duh)... it's nearly impossible to get a conviction on charges of hate speech. And cops are basically impervious to conviction because of how courts work. As far as I can tell, prosecuting this would be entirely untenable.
