Your correct... they wanted to see the damage to what would happen to the ranger. that was just the truck drivers excuse to the cops.... lol
As cool as it was to watch im sure, if the guys who were arrested wanted to be dicks, im sure they cud sue the tow driver for it.
That tow driver shud be ridded of his license IMHO!
