Not only condescending but a dumbass. No, if some random dumbass in a yellow jacket runs up and says 'stop' you don't automatically stop. Especially if said dumbass strikes you with his flashlight.
I really wish Scottie gave an unvarnished, completely true statement other than his initial "big misunderstanding" calm, cool, collected statement.
Something like "I arrived onsite and there was complete chaos with no one in charge. There were a few fat guys in yellow jackets all standing around doing nothing, so I proceeded with extreme caution to the entrance of my workplace. After I had driven a few yards at less than 10mph, one of the fat guys ran up and started pounding at my window, yelling unintelligibly. I calmly rolled down my window, and he yelled “I am in charge here! You will respect my authority! Where do you think you’re going?” I showed him my credential after which he looked utterly confused. He then yelled at me, “you need to wait for me to let you in! I am in charge here! You’re under arrest!” Then he hit me with his flashlight and I decided the best thing to do was shut up and go along until I could talk to my lawyer.
