The argument being offered is that if the police follow the law, the problem goes away and there’s no impact on legitimate law enforcement activity.

So until every police officer follows the law, everywhere, in every instance, you believe anyone should be entitled to obstruct arrests if they disagree with the law?
How would you identify an arrest by law enforcement to know whether or not you are obstructing it?

That’s a great example of a straw man argument. I especially like the way you start by acknowledging that the question is official misconduct but by the end of the sentence have flipped it to blame people for expecting law enforcement officers to follow the law.

Sure, much as yours was a great example of the perfectionist fallacy.
