Should I write to the department of justice about this situation?

You're missing the point.

This guy is a dipsh*t, he's nothing, a nobody. Of course I could restrain him.

I DID side step him, and he still knocked into me, cause I wasn't going to side step him too wide, just enough to say, "I'm attempting to de-escalate, but I'm not letting you walk through me" - so if a law enforcement official saw it, they'd clearly see he was an unreasonable aggressor, but at the same time they wouldn't have to say to me, "you need to stand up for yourself more".

i.e. it needs to unquestionably demonstrate his wrong doing and unacceptable anti-social attitude.

This is not a physical battle, it's a battle of a sneaky little crawler, attempting to tear down someone he evidently hates - or resents the hell out of - even if it means a little self-compromise in his mind, like maybe taking a box to the chin? To him that will be worth it.

In other words, it's a battle against the justice system in many respects, in so far as the degree to which I can put my hands on him, without being legally culpable.

.....

And that's what I was saying, he's sneaky AF. He hasn't maintained his "bad boy" alter ego all his life successfully, without being challenged on it or its fakeness being exposed, for no reason.

I have all what you mention to hand, wrestling, boxing, joint locks, wrist locks. At one time I spent vacations as a security guard in bars/nightclubs and part of the job was drilling de-escalatory submissions together so you wouldn't have to go full-on brawl-mode (though no doubt many of you will think this is more "Walter Mitty" fantasy telling........ one place I worked was a strip club....... how do you like that?)

Perhaps, and that would be fine.

Degenerates and hill billy's are always going to resent refined gentlemen such as myself that have everything in their life that the degenerates don't (like a future, prospects, a job, accomplishments, going places, not being fake to feel good about oneself, etc.).

But when the law enforcement officer I spoke to shared that opinion, and seemed smugly content I was taking shit from some degenerate for this reason?

That's not good.

It's kind of like, the opposite of what they're meant to do? (i.e. protect the integrity and progress of civilized society).

Department of Justice, two most senior current officials:

What are they doing to reform policy so law enforcement can bring this rampant degeneracy under control?

There's a far right element to this massive under-current of anti-social malfescence?

You're damn right there is.

Cultural shift, nothing less will suffice.
