Wearing a hoodie?
From the article:
"Street agreed, saying that Ressig's gesture did not constitute disorderly conduct and was unlikely to prompt violence, at least with the police chief.
Chillicothe Law Director Sherri Rutherford said that Moore intended only to give Reissig a cautionary warning because a recent road-rage incident had led to a stabbing."
And so, in a confrontation, a middle finger gesture does not count as an act of provocation. While I agree folks need to keep cool, I wonder what does count as provocation that escalates into violence making one person or the other responsible for the outcome.
