No. Spitting on the flag may be considered free speech; spitting on a cop may get you arrested. The Constitution doesn't give you the right to make unwanted physical contact with someone in the process of exercising your freedom of expression.

There is an old saying you should familiarize yourself with: "Your rights end where mine begin." If you spit at a cop and hit your target, you will have infringed the cop's rights.

Spitting on anyone is legally considered an assault. Spitting on an officer would be assault on an officer. Other factors can also weigh in. In some places, if a person knowingly has a contagious disease, such as tuberculosis, the charges can be upped to aggravated assault.
