Yes the USMB would mete out pain. Inciting violence is a matter of opinion by the legal eagles.
A Scottsdale real estate agent who angrily told a Black man that they were in a “no (N-word) zone,” has been arrested for disorderly conduct.
A suburban Phoenix man who directed the slur at a young Black man has been arrested for disorderly conduct. It's illegal to provoke a fight.

That is a good example of wrongful arrest imo. I watched the video, he was not disorderly, he was expressing his opinion and the person filming it was almost egging him on. So yes, that is fair example.
That one is weird, looks like they tried to use an old law (that is not specific to race) and I agree with the civil liberty groups on this, it needs to be repealed.
HARTFORD, Conn. — Free speech concerns that were raised following the
arrests of two University of Connecticut students accused of saying a racial slur have led state legislators to consider repealing a century-old law that bans ridicule based on race, religion or nationality.
The episode on campus involving two white students in October was recorded on video and sparked protests against racism. Many people applauded their arrests, but civil liberties groups condemned them as an affront to First Amendment rights.
Police said the students, Jarred Karal and Ryan Mucaj, uttered the racial slur several times while walking through the parking lot of a campus apartment complex and were recorded by a black student. They said that they were playing a game that involved saying offensive words and that it was not directed at anyone in particular.
They were charged under a 1917 law that makes it a misdemeanor for anyone who “ridicules or holds up to contempt any person or class of persons, on account of the creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race of such person or class of persons.”
And another:
An internal Cincinnati Police Department investigation concluded an officer used a racial slur following an incident with a teenager believed to be a Cincinnati Public Schools student.
CPD on Monday released the report from its internal investigations section related to District Three Officer Rose Valentino. The incident was caught on bodycam and dashcam.
Valentino’s police powers are suspended as the disciplinary hearing process continues, according to interim City Manager John Curp.
The officer allegedly admitted to using the slur in an interview with investigators.

This one does not involve any arrest and it involves the conduct of a police officer. A person in his position has no business using slurs against people. He wasn’t arrested, but his conduct is being reviewed and it should be.
So, you are right, there have been some cases where people have been arrested for using racial slurs but that seems to be pretty rare.
