He had circled behind and then around me to my left. He was barely moving at that moment I heard the sound of the rock hitting the post then the ground. When I turned to yell at him is when he wheeled around took off down the street. The rock was about at least half the size of my head. Questioning my integrity might give you warm fuzzies inside but at the end of the day I could have been seriously injured and am lucky I wasn't. In an unprovoked rock throwing incident.

Guy. Nobody is getting warm fuzzies. At this point, you have told your story to the police twice and on an internet forum where nobody knows you or has any preconceived notions of who you are or what you're about. All we have to go on is your telling of the stories. These strangers and two different police operators have all come to the same conclusion - there is nothing to pursue here.
Maybe you've led a really fortunate life where you haven't encountered these sorts of things before. I see people do illegal things that could put me in danger a few times a year, particularly when driving in my case as I don't walk around very often. I don't call the police because as a reasonable person I know there is nothing that can be done so I move on with my day.
I had some road rager cut me off and slam on his brakes so I had to slam on my brakes and go into the shoulder on Barlow Trail earlier this summer. What he did was illegal and put me in danger, but I shook it off as most people do in these kinds of situations. But say I did call the police at the time - okay, that's my right. But then to call them again a week later to say, "hey, I saw the guy that cut me off again. what are you going to do?" would be a little weird, no? Like, if everyone in the City called the cops every time a situation like this occurred, how could the police function effectively? Sometimes you just have to move on. If you see this guy again, keep your distance and have a watchful eye out for him to mess with you. There's really nothing else you can do.
