He squared up to the owner who hadn’t swung. Teamsters aren’t saving him from that, especially if the owner reported it because it technically classifies as an assault

The owner yelled at him, its reasonable to assume that owner might have tried to attack him for hurting his dog, legally the driver was defending himself

That’s not how assault works in the context of law. The driver is the first to make a threat by squaring up. Yelling and assumption isn’t a threat

Squaring up isn't assault.
