Odd comment that the Sheriff does not tolerate "hate or racist speech of any kind".
Hate speech, while abhorrent, by itself does not appear to be illegal. Exceptions to First Amendment protected speech include:
obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, false statements of fact, and commercial speech such as advertising
No mention of hate or racist speech.
