Actually the use of profanity even against police officers is protected by the Constitution of the United States

Read this article about the ACLU suing Pennsylvania repeatedly for issuing such citations:

In a separate case a man was arrested, cited for disorderly conduct and briefly jailed after shouting a double expletive at a policeman who was writing him a parking ticket.

The two are among at least 750 people in Pennsylvania a year who face illegal disorderly conduct charges because of the use of profanity in Pennsylvania, the ACLU said.

[...]

Tuthill added that the ACLU will continue to bring lawsuits until the practice of issuing citations for swearing is stopped.


Swearing at cops may not be advisable but it is perfectly legal.
