Yes disrespect can be a verb.
A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action. A verb is a word used primarily to indicate a type of action, such as to fly or to wish, though it may also be used to indicate a general state of existence, such as to live.

QUOTE:
ITS A ADJ
HE RESPONDED DISRESPECTFULLY.
THATS A VERB

"Disrespectfully" is actually an *adverb*, explaining the manner in which he responded. And you mean to say "AN ADJ". Or rather "AN ADV". But we weren't talking about "disrespectfully".
"I disrespect you," is an example of using "disrespect" as a verb, to answer to original question.

it's a noun and can be transformed into verb transitive like 'disrespecting your parents.' i think disrespect as a verb is a rather new concept.

Yes. You can disrespect authority, for example, or anyone else for that matter.
