Probably used by gangs there.

Exactly. And the longhorn sign is done with the palm facing the recipient. |

The answer to your question is dependent on how the gesture was perceived. |

Peace sign or not, I don't get why would be suspended for a stupid little hand gesture. |

Gang members with illegal firearms kill people flashing another gangs sign. Is that clear enough? |

Were the palms facing the police, or away from? |

Palms facing away from the police and index and pinky used, not index and middle finger. |
