This is exactly why I stopped flashing my brights at people driving without their lights on at night.
It’s part of a gang initiation and they’ll hunt you down and kill you.

I don't see how Dark SUV guy "cut them off" if they were entering the freeway.
So many frictards think they have a right to carelessly enter a freeway and don't think they have to yield.

My father-in-law told a humorous road rage story as follows:
- I apparently managed to piss off another driver in an old SUV when I changed lanes on the interstate. He was attempting to speed by me and the traffic building ahead. It was broad daylight, and I could see that I had plenty of room. I wanted to get over to avoid the slowing traffic, but the SUV driver was going faster than he should. He was not interested in slowing down for me to get around the delay, and drove right up on my arse almost hitting me and started giving me the social finger. He continued to ride my arse while honking his horn, flashing his high beams and, yes, offer up his middle finger for what seemed like way too long while we passed the slowed traffic! It finally pissed me off enough to slam on my brakes causing him to slam on his! I regretted my reaction immediately because I know better than to provoke a situation like this. This SUV then flies up next to me once the congestion clears, and he starts yelling out of his window at me to pull over, and points at the approaching exit sign. I guess he's wanting to fight. So, when we approached the next exit, I slowed way down like I was planning to exit, and I got behind him. I roll my window down, stick my hand out the window, point to signal for him to exit and then make a fist since we're going to fight. He exits. I kept on going! -

As soon as a gun is pointed at you, you stop the threat by killing it.

Houston PD Use-of-Force policies probably prohibit the cop from chasing and engaging the perp with a firearm.
So, Houston PD cop did exactly what Houston PD cops are "authorized" to do.. GTFO of there and cleanup the mess in the aftermath.
So, don't protect or serve. But collect that sweet pension.
Show me where in my info that it's the cop's fault he bolts instead of doing something in real time?

How about you slow tf down, fall in behind him and take the exit, Pedro?
Or you can honk at him and initiate a confrontation.

I'll never forget driving on 610 during rush hour and I tried getting over one lane to my left- same time as another guy was coming into that lane from the other side. We got kinda close but I thought NBD this happens all the time, I'll just wave him over, get in behind him, then go about my day.
Motherfricker brake-checked me to a complete stop, waved what looked like his AR at me in his rear window. I just about took a right turn to exit the highway and decided at that point to drive like a monk.

Sarah says the driver of the other car pulled alongside them and pointed a laser-equipped handgun directly at her boyfriend’s head, firing several shots at them. ”That’s when I looked to my left, and I saw a green laser pointing at us through the window and I said, ‘He has a gun!’ And he shot at us,” she added.
ok so the bullet thingy hits where the green dot thingy is at

And that’s why I’m packing today.
Had a frickhead go off on me in Clearlake. Finally Stopped dead in the middle of 45 with me pulling boat…..gun was in my lap already. As soon as I came to stop he bolted for off ramp. That day, I was sure I was shooting someone.

Wife and I were on our way to a wedding. Going to take exit in town that had a on ramp leading up to it. Dude taking the on ramp refuses to let us over so i tap my horn. He speeds up just enough for us to get behind him to take the exit and then stops in the middle of the lane block us. Reaches out his window flashing gun signs and pointing at us to pull beside him. I obviously dont do that and he drives away thankfully.
Week later me and wife are driving to dinner. Guy on motorcycle goes to make right turn into our lane (he has a yield sign) and gets mad at me for not letting him in. I drive a little ways and realize he's close behind me. I make a couple dummy turns and verify he's following me. Dude proceeds to follow me for 3/4 miles and tries to get me to stop to fight him. Thankfully he gave up. After the second incident I made the decision to get a pistol just incase something dumb happened.
Sounds like your wife was driving.

My first impression in Houston was 2008, flew into Hobby and had meetings in the medical district. Holy shite, I was stunned by how awful and erratic the freeways were. I was spending time in a dozen major cities at that time and had never seen such trash idiocy.

Great! Now 2 idiots are spraying bullets at each other in moving cars, which will probably just kill innocent people.
My guess is you have never been in combat, and have no clue what you would do when death is the other end of a split second decision.
