How are people not out there putting this on blast. This is so wildly dangerous and sets a precedent for putting anyone who insults the cops in prison.
The mechanisms for arresting anyone who insults cops already exist and already get used that way all the time. They can get you on suspicion and resisting arrest, neither of which require you to have actually done anything wrong.
Also worth noting is that there are already special, aggravated charges for crimes that involve cops, and they're enforced far more strictly. Shove someone once at a bar and you might technically be guilty of some minor assault charge, but odds are good you won't get any charges out of that, or you can plead down to something even smaller. But shove a cop once? Even if it's while they're roughing you up? You'll get the book thrown at you.
