Right. So your point is that the police should have the power to arrest an unarmed and agitated old man in his own home when they outnumber him 5 to 1 on the basis that a hypothetical future danger may arise if some unknown person should happen along who may or may not be incited to cause harm to the police by witnessing the agitation of the old man.

What should we call this new “crime”?

It is called “Disturbing the peace” in some stated and “Disorderly Conduct” in others.
