How can i go about reporting an officer on bad behavior in front of my children?

I was driving with my wife and children in the car. One 3 years old the other 5. I was coming toward a construction site and a local town cop waved me to go on to pass the construction. I started driving, but he apparently wasn't in sync with the other cop, who happened to be a state trooper and he was waving the other on-coming cars toward me.

I beeped my horn to get his attention and the other cars attention, when he turned around and waved his hands in the air frantically yelling and screaming. He said "What the F*** are you doing are you a F***ing idiot or something?". Then said "What if i didn't see you went head on into another car, you've got to be F***ing kidding me".

He told me to pull off to the side to write me a ticket, when the other cop stopped traffic to explain it was his fault. He said "Hey my fault i thought he was clear to go" Then he went off back into traffic. I thought i would have gotten an apology or something for him swearing in front of my kids. He scared the 5 year old and my 3 year old said "Mommy why did that man say F***ing, that's a bad word" as we drove away.

Who do i complain to? How do i go about the process, etc?

    Then these police departments wonder why cops beat their wives, shoot innocent people, drink and drive and snort every drug from A-Z.

    Cops are thugs with badges. They became cops because they wouldn't make smart criminals. They thrive on yelling, swearing, hitting, badgering, etc. These things are psychotic and sadistic individuals.

    By accident you crossed its path, when it didn't want you to, he never said you could drive. You made it have a bad day and it wanted you to pay dearly for it. Sure your kids are scarred for life and may grow up hating cops, but they're just criminals anyway. If they didn't commit crimes yet when they get older they will.

    It's us against them. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Go to the police department the officer works at and file a complaint with his supervisor if you feel that his conduct was wrong. If your not satisfied with outcome, go up the chain of command. Bigger agencies also have a complaint department or can file complaint online and have a special unit for investigating such complaints. Most outcomes, depending on prior write ups will end up with officer going through maybe anger management, seeking counseling, leave time without pay, retaining or termination.
