A man declining to ride a bus doesn’t isn’t the interest of law enforcement and public safety officials. A man creating a mile-long back-up on an interstate highway, effectively shutting down a truck inspection station is.

A situation first precipitated by the cops. And why did they do it? Because they have a badge and a gun and the citizens don't. It's that simple.

There is room for reasonable debate about the merits and even legality of these internal checkpoints. His actions were not reasonable. He worked hard to earn everything that happened to him.
