Anyone can get in trouble for saying stuff like this. Freedom of speech is denied when it comes to talking about killing the president. I understand the need for this but at the same time i'm not sure if I agree with it. In todays socieity sarcasm is so common and lines like "he should be shot" are a common expression of dislike for someone but doesn't really mean you want to kill him.
This story is missing the context in which the officer said this but it doesn't matter to the secret service.
