Experience of going to the news?

Anyone have any experience dealing with cops not being treated equally? Gone to the news, did anything even air or anyone care?

We live in the panhandle of Florida, in military housing (federal property) but there are civilians that live here as well.

I heard yelling from our backyard and come out front to see a guy (neighbor across the street) screaming repeatedly “I will fcking kill you” to two boys that looked like they were 15. I immediately yelled “you don’t fcking talk to kids like that.” The teenage boys ran up to me and asked me to call the Military Police. Thankfully one was parked about a quarter mile down the road and I sent one to go get him and calmed the other down. I am talking to other boy who is obviously scared and doesn’t know what to do so I tell him to start recording the guy if he wants to do something but don't respond as the Police are coming. This whole time the guy is repeatedly yelling “I will fcking kill you,""threaten my family I’ll kill yours.” As his wife is holding him back as he is working his way down his driveway quite aggressively. As he is nearing the end of his driveway, I hear the boy and the MP walking back and I start loudly saying “MP please hurry.” The moment the guy sees police there he walks back up his driveway and sits down like nothing had happened. The MP called the local sheriff's deputies and city police as the other two parties weren’t under the UCMJ. The case gets handed to the city police.
The boys were brothers (15 and 18) and were arguing, the wife came out of her house to scream at them to shut up, and stuff about getting the police, her husband, and getting off her property. The worst thing the boys did was call the woman a btch.They were on the sidewalk the entire time and this is all federal property. The husband, turned out to be an off duty sheriff deputy, came out and pulled a pistol on the boys, did not point it at them but brandished it out of his house.
I did not see a gun when I intervened, we moved in the house about a week prior and didn’t even know this guy was a cop until the police told us. He admitted to bringing his gun out when the police questioned him as the boys were describing where his safe was and describing his gun. The boys also pointed out the Ring cameras and asked the police to pull the footage to show they were telling the truth. The couple claimed to not have the membership so it doesn’t record anything when asked for the footage. As the city police were talking to others the military cop even told my wife and I that when he was running over he already had an idea it would be that couple’s house having issues.

I told the police immediately I wanted to press charges, the police did nothing that night. The off duty deputy returned to work, with a gun, the day after and the only thing the police are telling us is his job has been notified but charges probably aren’t going to stick because he never left his driveway. He was aggressively coming at us as his wife was holding him back repeatedly yelling about taking our lives, but since he didn’t leave his driveway they are saying it wasn't a credible threat.(investigation still going on, about 3 weeks since the incident). Blows my mind. The police told us we could get an injunction through the courthouse but when we went to try the two options that related to us, to file under were stalking/harassment or something had to have occurred 2 or more times.

The next morning we go to the housing office to let them know what happened, file a complaint, and see if there are any repercussions for them or if we need to move to get some distance. They informed us that the couple had reported us and kept telling them it was our house that was causing the issues. They claimed we were drunk and high and that our children and us caused the issue. My wife and I are in our twenties, very obviously couldn't have kids that old and ethnically different. I have a pretty high clearance so any claims or rumors of bad doing or drug use could have the potential to hurt my career. We told them what had happened and filed an official complaint. A couple days later the housing office called us and basically said a crappy situation but he's a cop so he should have a gun. I am a big gun guy, with a collection, Concealed Carry permit, courses etc. but if I had done what he had done I would have left in cuffs that night. I even asked them, doesn't that make it worse that he is supposed to have all this training and de-escalation training? They agreed but did nothing. One of the ladies even told us that there was a guy a few years ago that brandished a firearm at the pool and was evicted.

The Military Police have suggested we go to the local news, file an official complaint at his work, file for an injunction even if it doesn't fit the parameter to be told no by a judge, file a complaint against the city police for not arresting him that night (Military detective said they would have arrested him just from the footage the boy recorded). I have not done any of these, would these be smart for me to do? We have put up security cameras around our house and avoid the side that faces them.

He is a cop, pulled a gun on two boys, had to have an outsider de-escalate by calling the police, and then returned to work carrying a gun the following day. Am I fighting a pointless battle for cops to cover each other’s backs? Would it hurt me more by doing the things the Military Police suggested?

We do not live in the county he works in, but they are neighboring.
