📝 AITAH for being upset at my (m27) partners (f28) dad for saying he hopes we go to jail.

Im a 27y/o black man dating a 28y/o white woman I mention race because maybe my race plays a part in why I have such an issue with it and why my partners dad thinks this is an okay thing to say.

A few days ago I was harassed by a man the second I entered a kebab shop. To cut a long story short I was on the phone to my partner when it happened she panicked and got her dad to pick me up (I wasnt that far from her house). When they came the aggressor threatened to kill my partner, this was the one moment I really lost my shit I was calm up until then. The father shouted at me being very rude while talking politely to the aggressor and even apologising to him. When we got back to his place I called the police and left a report. The police came and I spoke to them outside as I went to talk to them he said "i hope they take you both to jail" I.e. me and his daughter.

For me that ontop of the other things is unacceptable. He since doubled down on the statement (we had a meeting to try and squash the issue but it just inflamed everything) and ive received information from other people that this is supposedly a white thing to say equivalent to calling someone a cunt for calling police ( in the UK this is not a serious cuss word) he himself has said he hates the police due to his past which is understandable and if he'd just called me a cunt I'd have been able to manage. The fact he said and doubled down on me and his daughter being imprisoned says to me that he doesn't want me to be free nor does he care about my welfare. While its possible to say he came and helped me in the situation i don't feel like he did it for me more so he did it so that his daughter wouldn't spiral if something did happen to me. Ive considered breaking up with my partner because this situation is a massive red flag for me as I wouldn't want my kids going to people who would want bad things for me since I doubt they'd treat my kids better. So AITAH? Did I over react?
