I agree with your overall sentiment. It's better to know what people truly believe.
But this guy is in a position of power, that has a history of murdering innocent black civilians at an alarmingly high rate. That's the last person who should be making a snarky remark about it. It's not just having an opinion it's making light of murders committed by your co-workers.

You can speak freely on your own time, on the job you should be able to be professional and respectful or find yourself a new job.

Do you believe this would have been reported differently if the police office turned out to have been off-duty when he said this ?
Because we both know it wouldn't have been.
Firing people for their thoughts (as opposed to the value of their work) doesn't fix anything. It just creates a culture where people say one thing and believe another.
It's sort of like the idea of kicking Trump off of Twitter. Doing so wouldn't make him a better president, it would just reduce the visibility of his grotesque thought process.
