...why this imbecile hasn't been arrested yet for hate speech, making death threats, and inciting murder?  (Of police officers, yet....)

Two reasons:
1) He's exercising his rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
2) Whether the Powers That Be dare to act on his suggestion or not, they agree with him.

(2) is right on the ball, I think: at the moment, his views are Politically Correct enough to offset the parts about having people killed.

As for (1), there's established legal precedent that the First Amendment does not confer a freedom to actively incite the murder of specific individuals. From anyone else, posting photographs of individual police officers and advising people to go kill them would be a ticket to Federal stir, if not Gitmo.
