    It was beyond any professional demeanor and could have easily provoked an even worse scenario. At the same time, there was no physical abuse, and as far as I can tell didn't draw his weapon and produced his badge early on in the exchange.

    If I were to jump out in traffic, and threaten in the same manner, I would surely be charged with assault and making deadly threats. And frankly if someone shot me during the altercation they would be justified if I approached that way.

    Finally, if my job got wind I was acting like that, I would probably be fired, and I don't work in a publicly facing role in any capacity.

    Frankly in this situation I would have left, and called the police to inform them some guy with a red Tacoma in shorts and t shirt was flashing a badge, threating to shoot people and trying to stop traffic.
