What do you do, when a deputy attorney general advocates violence?

This out of Indiana, former state prosecutor and deputy attorney general Jeffrey Cox was fired after comments he made over protesters opposed to the attempts to eliminate collective bargaining rights of state employees in Indiana.

"You're damned right I advocate deadly force."

"Use Live Ammunition."

Seems to me, he clearly exceeded the protections of the First Amendment, as his speech was unequivocal about his intentions against peaceful protesters.  What would have happened if Hosni Mubarak had publicly said that he was going to use deadly force with live ammunition to quell peaceful demonstrators?  Would our government sit by and let things fall where they may?
