They have an office downtown Dallas, same building as the CIA.

Thank you! A few people suggested some improvements which I quoted
here, but familial pride wins out...

“Does that mean charges were dropped because he was law enforcement?”
Of COURSE, comrade! And if he had shot the guy he was brandishing AT, he would have been in fear of his life, of course! /sarcasm ;)

Or maybe he saw two women delivering papers.

nuking all of batfe would be a wonderful start.
Alcohol, tobacco, firearms - that should be a convenience store, not a gov agency.

He was questioned and released after officers learned he was an ATF agent who was carrying proper credentials.
As usual the badge is a 'get out of jail free card'.

Quickly released back onto the streets and identity kept hush hushed. Just another bully cop who will end up killing someone’s loved one for no reason than he can.

“Brandish” a gun at me, in traffic, during a “road rage” incident... And a number of bad things will happen to you.
I drive a beat up old truck. It’d be the first thing I hit you with. You point a gun at me? My reaction would be turning my steering wheel hard into your lane. It’s a 4800lbs weapon of initial resort.
You survived that? And you are STILL pointing a gun at me? Better hope you get off the first shot because I have a carry permit as well and I’m a pretty good shot myself. My carry piece is a full-sized semi-auto in a magnum class caliber. No 9mm or .40 Short and Weak here.
Later on we’ll worry about how much “protection” your Federal credentials bought you while laughing over the coroners report on how much damage I did to you.
Relax. Drive safe. Don’t point guns are folks when you get pissed off...

There really are a lot of people who would have just shot him or run him off the road for that. Yep. Some of us get real serious when someone brandishes a weapon. and we'd ask questions later.

I drive a beat up old truck.They are cheap, strong, and if running right, generally pretty powerful. In a pinch, you don't worry about the paint, and who cares about trade-in value on something you won't trade in? It's paid for, and I have no qualms about using mine for a defensive weapon if need be.

That’s the idea exactly...
I’ve never understood people who GET OUT OF THEIR CARS in a road rage incident. So the rager is coming right at you... BFD. Your car ain’t gonna slow down much as it runs him over.

Why I cringe when I see commercials about vehicles that "won't let you run into anything", have 'automatic braking'.
There are conceivably times when a collision might be a desirable outcome, and I am reasonably sure police cars will not be so equipped so they can perform Pitt maneuvers.
