Not sure this is addressing the root of the problem, though.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... lice-bill/The provision of the bill that would ban insulting police was modeled on laws in other states prohibiting comments that could reasonably push a person to violence, said Carroll, himself a former police officer. Those statutes, which are not specific to anti-police comments, rely on an exception to the First Amendment known as the “fighting words doctrine,” which holds that words inciting immediate violence are not constitutionally protected.
But Caroline Mala Corbin, a constitutional law professor at the University of Miami, said that doctrine may not apply to Kentucky’s bill because it specifically targets taunts aimed at police, rather than insulting language aimed at anyone. She said the doctrine, whose legal force is also fading, does not protect government actions to ban only certain viewpoints.
“Clearly the government is trying to ban speech it does not like,” Corbin said of the Kentucky provision. “And that is a paradigmatic violation of the free speech clause” of the First Amendment.
