No, you jackass. At worst it is libel, but I doubt it is even that if it is obviously satire. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it illegal. Persons are allowed to question the government and other persons in authority. It is a responsibility. Maybe instead of acting all butt-hurt over it, they should be fixing what was being made fun of. (I haven't seen the cartoons)
It reminds me of that one video where a guy was filming cops from his front yard. Nothing exciting was going on. He was just filming them. The cops noticed, came onto his property without permission and tried to get him to delete the pictures/video or confiscate his camera claiming that taking pictures of them on duty was illegal. They finally radioed in to HQ for clarification after he kept arguing with them and .. surprise. They left, but not without getting the last word in. I wonder what would have happened if he had filed a trespassing complaint. The cops could claim the didn't know and were just doing their jobs, but that is admitting that they don't even know some of the laws they are trying to enforce, which brings up concerns of false arrest and other things. The other argument is that they knew the law but decided to use their uniforms to intimidate someone into not doing something that was bothering them in a private, non job related way. I am guessing it was probably a combination of both.
