Now the rule for BR interference doesn't specify that the act be intentional. Although I can accept that an action that is an attempt to break up a DP could involve an intentional act.
In any case, if you are the umpire in this case, and in your judgement you maintain that whatever the act was on the part of the BR was an attempt to prevent the DP, how do you rule?

You are asking me to make a ruling on a TWP. Given the scenario, there is no possibility of another out.
IMO, you are trying to read too much into this rule.
