The police are the first to tell someone not to take such matters into their own hands yet according to the poster when he did report it they said they couldn’t do anything because he wasn’t hurt. That is a very odd position for the police to take if that is what they in fact said.

If you read the OP, he didn't even see anybody throw a rock. A rock rolled by him as he was walking. Maybe a car kicked it up? IDK and the OP doesn't know.
I also don't get how you throw a rock while riding your bike in the opposite direction. That's super hard to do. Like, did he stop, hop off his bike, find a rock, throw it, miss, then get back on the bike and start riding away in a matter of seconds? I don't think in the original call to the police they had enough to act on. We have OP yelling at a bum "I WILL FIND YOU" as a bum is riding away on a bike after asking for a cigarette.
I'm not trying to poke holes in the story, but I'm trying to look at it how the police would. There really isn't much to go on originally, and there is especially nothing to go in with the second interaction where being called "sunshine" triggered a call to the police. OP didn't even fill out a police report the first time. Where does he expect the first call was recorded and cataloged and made available to the next operator he called? The whole thing is just weird and it's a strange expectation that the police could do anything with the information he had provided.
