The state is the individuals' collective will to, among other things, put criminals in prison. You sure can campaign, protest and what not, but if you're going to interfere with said collective will you better go all out and win, or else you'll be behind bars or in the ground.
Again, that's backward. In the US and in free societies generally, it is the individual, not the collective will that is the priority and is supreme. Specifically, the individual is free to do as the think best regardless of the collective will - almost the definition of 'freedom' - unless they are causing significant harm to other individuals.
Each person is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and governments exist (not to exercise the collective will but) to protect those rights.
Tell me, on this specific night, what specific crimes were this specific state agent, prevented from arresting by having a sandwich thrown at them?
I'll do you a favor, let's broaden the search criteria. Can you provide a single example of a cop anywhere being unable to arrest a criminal because a bystander threw a sandwich at them?
