That was all he had to say. Instead, he opted for “Ima buss dis muffukka ass”. I guess that is far too much for the intellectual heavyweights at The Guardian to consider.
He didn't even need to go that far. He could have said "Sorry, Sir, but I have no reason to discuss this matter with you, since I don't know who you are. I suggest you summon a peace officer if you are so concerned." Or he could have said nothing at all - nobody is required to talk to strangers who have no LEO identification.
