It was hammered into me at the Academy that a Peace Officer could not be insulted or offended.
You could arrest someone for flipping off a non-LEO in public, and you could arrest someone for cussing a non-LEO in public, but you could not arrest that person for flipping or cussing you (as a Peace Officer).
