People in authority get no slack when they start abusing power to flex without having a good reason. This dude just didn’t like being challenged.

When last did you run disaster response in any area for something of this scale?

Emergency and disaster response organisations always ask people not to just rock up and do their own thing, but to go via the correct channels when volunteering for help. It's not an ego thing.

Arrests for not respecting authority is an ego thing. If it was purely about preventing him from flying he could have reported to the FAA
