+53 The police should be able to hit someone if that person is trying to start a riot and won't comply. Freedom of speech should only go so far, amirite?

I agree, but it would be kind of hard to draw the line. If you said a vague mean thing or looked at a cop funny, they could say you were attempting to start a riot.

Let's ask Rodney King how he feels about that.

A rally is freedom of speech. A riot is violence.

A riot is not freedom of speech. The first amendment says freedom of speech, press, religion and PEACEFUL assembly and petition. They are therefore breaking the first amendment, because a riot isn't a peaceful assembly.
