I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. Just being in an accident is upsetting enough without the cops being nasty to boot. As the others said, vent away!
Did you happen to get the name of the officer? It should also be on your copy of the polic report, right? At some point you could write a letter to his supervisor about his unprofressional behavior. He has to do his job - get the info and all, but he has no business being nasty and demeaning and verbally abusive while he's doing it!

> I haven't been able to be on line much lately I totaled my car on the 28th and have been feeling pretty depressed about it. I looked in the rearview mirror and when I looked back the car in front of me had stopped I tailended her. The police acted as though I had committed some kind of horrible crime and kept shouting at me. It got worse after he found out I had a mental illness and was on medication for it> He kept snapping at me and demanding to know if I was supposed to drive on it. To make matters worse I had been going through a downswing and had called my doctor just the day before and she had increased my Lexapro dose to 20mg. I sure am feeling low at this point if anyone out there has any comments I would be glad to hear them.
