'We almost crashed into him and the car behind me almost crashed into me,' Corrales told the New York Daily News of the initial incident.
'He turned the wheels and I heard wheels screeching,' Corrales said.
'He hit me with the car and took off with me on the car and he was going fast.'
Corrlaes claims he held on the windshield wipers to make sure he did not fall off the car, and a few blocks later Muller stooped and he was able to get off.
He said of the incident; 'Seriously, the dude wanted to kill me. The look on his face was pure hate. There was an older woman and a kid in the car and I could hear them screaming at him to stop.'
When he returned to his car however, police arrived on the scene and arrested Corrales for menacing behavior, harassment and cracking Muller's windshield.

The cop is supposed to be better than us. Is that not what they tell us to believe?
Cops are to be upstanding examples of society that citizens are to respect. Therefore they should lead the way by example.
If this story is true then the cop is nothing less than a road rage ass-hat and should be held just as accountable as anyone else would be.
JUDE!!

Hmm. Not so sure here. The guy who GOT cut off is more likely the rager. The ex cop was the one doing the cutting. Why would he have road rage? The guy who got out of his car to confront another driver is the aggressor. If you threaten my family while standing in front of my car, you might get run down. The charges seem to agree.

And NYPD got exactly what they wanted when they hired this guy: pure sociopath. That's what they're looking for. Many mock the idea that LEO agencies have been (for decades now) nurturing a workforce culture of blind obedience to authority and contempt for the general citizenry. But it's true, and quite deliberate.

Whether the guy was the road rager or not, the facts are the retired cop hit him and drove around with him on his car for some time. That is unarguably assault with a deadly weapon, which is what it is any time you intentionally hit someone, especially unarmed, with a vehicle. Whether they are both at fault, one assaulted the other and if things had gone differently this could have been vehicular manslaughter.

If the angry motorist was threatening the retired officer and intentionally blocking his car from leaving, I say it falls under self defense and defense of his family who were also in the car. The rager held on to the car as it drove. I wouldn't have stopped for some time either. Aggressive lunatic on the hood? What else does one do to protect one's family?
ETA and OP I'm not bashing you for posting this. Just trying to illustrate that what happened is understandable from a perspective different from yours. Some dude jumps out of his car in the middle of NYC and squares off against a car because he doesn't like the driver's merging technique? Who wouldn't hit the gas?
