Not enough information in the article to make a decision on whether it was warranted enough. He did resist the cop and he was a smartass to them. He says he respects cops and was brought up to respect cops. Ok, then don't resist the cop and be a smartass. They went too far but he definitely had a part in the instigation. In my state if a cop places his hand on you and you resist it, you're toast. I can imagine it would be the same in a freaking airport.
