East Meadow, NY: a police officer abruptly stops walking so a protestor walking behind him will bump into him, so the other police can attack and arrest him.

Please look up the actual definition of entrapment and examples of it. That wasn't entrapment, just general shitty behavior and response by the US police. I don't care that I'm commenting four days late, people throw around "entrapment" with apparently no knowledge of the actual legal definition of the term, and it's a huge pet peeve of mine.

"Entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit."

There should definitely some sort of statute that protects the people from this sort of bullshittery by the police, but "entrapment" is not what this falls under.
