Some LEO's think that free speech doesn't apply to insulting them.
I wouldn't insult a LEO or flip them off. Even if they are a completely by the book cop, it will still likely cause them to start looking for something you are doing wrong.
But that said, free speech is a thing in this country and that includes flipping off people including LEO's.
I don't think it's polite or very mature but it's our right.
And quite frankly I think it shows greater strength to ignore insults than to over-react to them.
