near Andover. The cop asked me to get off the car because i was
parked on the break down lane and started screaming his mouth off.

I was very embaressed infront of my family and nicely asked him to
calm down. He replied rudely to me to "shut up". I think he was
very unprofessional ... I wish i took his name down so i can report him
to his supervisor. I always had respect for cops but after this incident,
I think some of them are just bunch of idiots who think they are better
than others. I just walked away but could he have arrested me for parking
on the break down lane and showing the flood water to my kid?

His argument was this is not safe but I wish he talked like a normal person. I hope i get
to meet him again so that i can report him to the attorny general. Is this
a normal behaviour by a cop? What is my rights?

Five thousand people die every year in breakdown lanes across the country. It is not safe, ever. Perhaps you did not notice vehicles passing you three feet away (or less) in excess of 60 mph. If just one of them had hydroplaned, or bent over to change the radio, or turned to look at the flood, you may not have been here to type your complaint.

In the future, should your vehicle breakdown on the highway, and you must stop, pull as far off the road as possible. You will most likely be calling a tow truck anyway...

It is unfotunate that you felt embarrassed, however, perhaps the experience will leave a lasting impression, and you (your family) will not become an unfortunate statistic. I am sure you would have been far more embarrassed if something had happened to your family, and please believe that was a definite possiblity.
