Cops wont do much.
Cops dont do ****e, from experience. In my 5'3" experience the ******s that say something to a female cyclist are just looking for an easy target, never give them the enjoyment. There's nothing scarier than an angry woman, ask any man, other than a random female stranger that's Kujo enough to take on a stranger.
Like Chef said, every time they are confronted, in my experience, you earn respect. I can definitely see how a black eye can influence your view, though. So in that vein follow your gut or just 'chick" him
