    Ok so if cops can prosecute insults and whatever how do you see that playing out? When will a cop decide it’s something to let slide vs press the issue? forsee any problem with cops winding people up to slap more charges on them?

    It’s just not a good approach, to protect what? What’s the harm done? They’re trained, prepared, backed up, and the instigators of confrontation. If their feelings are getting hurt then their training or psych profile is the issue,
