2017In Lewis v. New Orleans, supra, 415 U.S. 135 , Justice Powell, in concurrence, suggested that ‘‘a prop- erly trained [police] officer may reasonably be expected to exercise a higher degree of restraint than the average citizen, and thus be less likely to respond belligerently to fighting words.’’ (Internal quotation marks omitted.)
