I really wish those "run em over" laws they have in Florida got nationalized. Assuming such a law anywhere is constitutional, there's no way a national one wouldn't be. You don't even need a tortured reading of the law to argue that blocking a major highway affects interstate commerce.
That law has (so far) survived because it's framed in terms of "driver safety." You're not allowed to just plow through any random group of protesters blocking a street. They have to make at least a
token effort to hurt you first (hitting your car, trying to open the door or break a window, trying to get to you or drag you out of the car, or being otherwise generally menacing). There's a "fear for your life" element that must be satisfied in order to trigger the law.
Of course, most juries aren't going to think too hard about whether you were
really in danger -- they're all sick to death of protests blocking streets. It's also not too hard to provoke an angry mob to try to hurt you (to justify running their asses over) either. So it all balances out in the end.
I agree it should be made a national standard though. Make it federal law so the local activist courts can't completely ignore it (i.e. they'll ignore it, but appellate courts will correct the error).

You don't even need television. There are loads of YouTube channels that just publish the police body cam footage. Spend an evening watching the absolute specimens that the police have to deal with and even a full blown hippie would agree the cops need to use more baton.
Dude. Read the comments on those videos. People are fucking
sick of it. Absolutely sick of it. "The fatigue is real" is a comment I see regularly. More and more calls for tasers, quick arrests, no de-escalation, etc. Nature is definitely healing.
