You can do that in the UK too, just not during a funeral procession.
The US has laws against protesting at the funerals of Armed Service members. If you really want to rage against something, why not the thing from your own society, instead of the thing from some other society?

I didn't realize it was illegal to protest at a servicemember's funeral, though. Does this come out of the Vietnam war?

I seem to remember someone getting arrested for tweeting some joke about a UK war hero because the joke was in poor taste or something.
