For your information, pornography for adults is fully protected speech. It is obscenity (whatever that may be) that is often excepted. Commercial speech is also (currently) fully protected. The line between free permitted speech and incitement to violence has been shifted very sharply against the police since WWI. I believe you can call the police very nasty words if you don't mind you head being smashed in unconstitutionally.
In my own judgment, even the most extreme political and religious speech is protected even hate speech in the opinion of this Supreme Court. Whatever may be said about Scalia, he is a free speech absolutist and that makes it a 5-4 at least on every first amendment speech question.
