Also he was able to give an interview afterwards.
The fact he can still talk after trying to run down picketers is better than he deserves.
Cops would've shot him if he was left of Mitt Romney.
The words "turned violent" in news reports are interesting because they always refer to a response to violent action rather than the actual inciting violent action.
Strikes "turn violent" when the workers respond to somebody trying to run them over.
Protests "turn violent" when the protesters respond to cops teargassing and beating them.
Huh, I wonder why they are using the passive voice...
... the driver said he was instructed by the police to collect the garbage despite the picket line
Well isn't that a coincidence! 
collect the garbage despite the picket line
Hint hint wink wink oink oink 
As opposed to, presumably, becoming matadors and causing the garbage truck driver to plunge into the sea. They could have then sang Hamilton songs as they emerged from the water to capture a new fan in the marketplace of ideas.
I dunno. They just fucking did that.

Oh he gave an interview, I thought for a moment that the fate of the driver was just entirely unknown lmao
"Driver 'mysteriously' vanishes after confrontation with longshoreman, union spokesperson claims he 'ain't never seen no truck driver'"
Tried to be the next James Alex Fields, instead he got got.
Should've said it's bombs for the israeli military, they wouldve let him through.
