If the reporter got smoked by a semi people would be asking why the cop didnt remove the people, you could spend all day asking people nicely and explaining why things need to be done . With that being said he was a tad aggresive in his approach.
I agree the guys were idiots for parking (and alighting) in that position, but the cop went a little too far with his "good intentions"...
