I once asked a lawyer here in New York if a person could legally go up to a cop, or even say from a distance, "Fuck you." He told me the cop could take those words as a hostile action and arrest you for 'assaulting (verbally) a police officer".
Think about it: if a cop can blow away an innocent civilian because the cop THOUGHT the civilian had a weapon (when in reality it was a wallet, or his ID, or nothing at all) and get away scott free every single time hen how far is anyone going to get challenging them?
