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?
"Verbally attacked?"

Bullshit. If you said "I'm going to kill you!" then you might have an argument.

Saying "fuck you" is not assault and it is protected by the U.S. Constitution. Calling someone a "pig" is perfectly legal and protected by the constitution.

If it was illegal, then every American would be in jail.

The very foundation of the First Amendment is that no person in the United States has the right to not be offended.

I can't believe the acceptance of anti-free speech unconstitutional government attacks on freedom that some people in the adult industry find acceptable.

It is anti-American to think that people have a right to not be offended.
