Hell, I'm well into my 16th year (damn, that makes me sound old!) and I still screw up all the time.

Look, what happened (“road rage incident”) to me was very stressful, that’s the reason my reaction to the whole situation was not as I know it should have been. My intentions were never to show off the fact I am a *** but, believe it no not, to deescalate the situation (I now know that’s not how to do it).
That’s why I came to this site hoping to get some prompt sound advice, which I did. The first replies confirmed what I already figured from trial and error and resolved any uncertainties I had. I do appreciate that. But, what I don’t appreciate is being later humiliated, demeaned, and mocked.
I’m sorry I am no longer interested in being a member of this site.

Are you serious? Very stressful and "mocking"
Its unfortunate he feels he was mocked..I didnt see the "mocking" myself..But some people have "thin skin"..Most LEO's have "thick skin" (no emotions) its kinda like "Being required to wear our stupid HATS just to be able to HAVE AUTHORITY..As for PoliceOne..Im a member aslo but was never "verified" so anyone can claim to be a LEO...The "verification" at RP is legit and it may be a pain in the butt, however if RP is claiming "Only verified LEO's answer the questions" then they have moral,ethical and possibly a legal obligation to the puplic to make sure ONLY LEOs are answering the questions! I JUST JOINED RP two weeks ago, Im new here and have NO REASON TO PROMOTE RP other than Personally seeing that RP IS A GOOD LEO AND PUBLIC FORUM SITE with the LEOs being GENUINE and only wanting to HELP AVERAGE PEOPLE..ON THEIR TIME OFF!!!Thats why I am here!
This may offend you and you may feel "mocked", I have no intentions of offending you or mocking you..BUT...Seriously YOU NEED TO GROW UP! All you did in your last post is CONFIRM YOUR IMMATURITY.....You may or may not read this (you said your done here) BUT if you do read this I PERSONALLY whish you the best of luck..BE SAFE (regardless if you are or are not an LEO)
And for the "really stessful driving/road rage" that happened to you..Thats kids play compared to dealing with murder,traffic fatalities, fights and being in a "gunfight and watching your fellow LEOs shot"..Im not going to say another word..This post is starting to "make my blood boil"...
