A verbal attack like that is called assault, which is often mistaken for battery. Assault is verbal, battery is physical. You're only usually arrested for battery with assault tagged on but they CAN arrest you for assault.
If they said "I think all cops are fucking pigs" as a general statement that would be OK. The fact that he verbally attacked a specific person makes it assault.
Get it?
