2. Really interesting question of when is graffitti, or any art, free speech or not?

I think in this case the police really crossed the line given the whole story but in the broader perspective, at least on public property, there must be constitutional accommodation for free speech. I do think protection of private property is a clearer and separate issue unless the owner of said property is the one doing or allowing the "graffitti".
