Maybe he was selfish(in the sense that had anything gone amiss he would have been relying on the emergency services to rescue him).....but he was actually doing no one any harm.
He wasn't even breaking any laws.
The police could have ignored him.
The fact that the police can be provoked into a reaction does not build any kind of confidence in their ability to be balanced.
