Kentucky’s state Senate passed a bill on Thursday that would make it a crime to "taunt" a police officer.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Danny Carroll, a retired cop, said he filed the proposal in response to frequent protests in Louisville last summer.

Some of the demonstrations, which were sparked by the police shooting death of Breonna Taylor, turned violent.

The bill passed the Kentucky’s Republican-dominated Senate 22-11.

It will now be debated by the House, which is also controlled by Republicans.

Under the legislation, anyone 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 guilty of a misdemeanor and face up to 90 days in jail and fines.

Some Republican senators who voted against the bill expressed concerns that parts of it would violate First Amendment rights and burden the judicial system.

Democratic lawmakers warned that the proposal could be used to unfairly target peaceful protesters.

So. Mostly peaceful protesters?

Everyone’s personal space should not invaded unless it’s peaceful.
A civilian does not have to take “in your face” insults.  There’s precedent for defending against provocation.

"...challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact..."

Sounds kind of like the woman who would not leave the bank after being asked to wear a mask or leave by a Police Officer.

A person yelling in your face where you can feel the spit should be knocked flat.
And if they are waving their arms close to your face or body, the same thing should apply.
We need to get back to manners.

And if you grab someone, cop or civilian, you should be shot.

"...challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact..."

Sounds kind of like the woman who would not leave the bank after being asked to wear a mask or leave by a Police Officer.

Sounds more like those "peaceful" BLM and Antifa "protesters".
