He is essentially questioning the integrity of the officials so he is eligible "to buy the whole cow".
For me, the totality of the circumstances would have to be considered, i.e. how loud was he, how bad had his behavior been prior, any prior warnings given, was there profanity included, etc.
He apparently picked a crew that was a little less willing to entertain any mitigating factors, his tough luck. I think our President calls that a "teachable moment".
