CMV: If a US Police Officer detains/arrests someone for simply flipping the middle finger at them/showing contempt of officers, they should immediately lose qualified immunity and removed from duty until further training is completed.

I have personally experienced, and have seen a vast amount of incidents where citizens are detained/arrested for simply showing contempt of police. From flipping their middle finger at them, to wearing a shirt that says F the Police, to even just calling them a waste of taxpayer dollars. This is an egregious violation of everyone's first amendment right to protest in a non violent format. 

Whether you are a fan of the police or not, showing contempt of officers is not illegal, even when done in front of them/at them. It is a form of non violent protesting and so long as it's done in a public format (or if done on private property, they have permission from the owner/s of said property), it is a constitutionally protected act. 

I believe that the moment an Officer ignores the constitution and uses their authority and power granted to them to quell their emotions after being offended by that, there should absolutely be a third party investigation into the incident, a trial, and said trial should not grant any qualified immunity. The officer in question, if found guilty, should also immediately be removed from duty and be required to take a remedial training course. They should not be allowed back into their official capacity until they demonstrate that they thoroughly understand any civilians constitutional rights.

How would this work in practice? Say that a cop detains/arrests someone and says that they have done so for some reason X. During their interaction with the cop, the person swore at/flipped off/expressed contempt for police. Does this automatically trigger the 3rd party investigation (which wouldn't otherwise be triggered if the person arrested/detained did not express contempt for police)? If not, what _would_ be required to trigger that investigation?
