“a person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in conduct that is likely to provoke a reasonable person to commit battery commits provocation.” Reasonable people do not commit battery in response to being given "the finger".

Reasonable people do not give a LEO the finger.........Therefore, the finger flipper can be judged to be unreasonable and therefore able to commit battery if a finger is flipped to them.

I’d say that the charges are then just an admission that most people who have a badge and a gun are not reasonable people.
