So probably "closer to two figures than four" civil infraction of some sort in this case.

I think weakening the protection against law enforcement being assaulted raises the likelihood that law enforcement will instantly react with violence under any vague threat.
edit: I warn that if you, a stranger who doesn't like me, throws something at me, you're going to be looking at more than a fine, immediately. I'm black, if every racist on the street gets one sandwich I'd be able to open a sandwich shop.

Without asymmetrical law there is less incentive for baseless escalation, not more.
