If that is the case, and the words are intended to provoke or disturb, you can be arrested. The US Supreme Court decided this in Chaplinski v. New Hampshire, commonly called the "Fighting Words Doctrine". The Court determined words intended to cause a disturbance are not covered by the First Amendment.
There is sometimes that one person but what about the other times not every time there are stupid ppl. If I dont have the freedom to say how I feel then that means we as a nation on longer have that first amendment. Thats so stupid cause if you said anything the cop did not like even if you cant get in trouble for it then its his word against yours and the cop always wins if you dont have proof.
