We’ve all seen the endless amount of videos over the past several years of “peaceful protesters” getting up in the face of police officers, in an attempt to rattle them into using force.
It is always painful to watch these officers sit there for hours at a time, remaining stoic in the face of abrasive protesters.
While everyone is entitled to their right to freedom of speech, there comes a point where these taunts, insults, and threats come into direct conflict with an officer’s ability to do their job.
In Kentucky, the state’s Senate has passed a bill that makes it a crime to taunt a police officer.

The bill states that anybody who “accosts, insults, taunts, or challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response” would be charged with a misdemeanor, fined, and face up to 90 days in jail.
