He's not wrong, and since when is holding a sign a crime?

I am in no way justifying the response to what looks like a very reasonable act of protest but if you are asked to leave private property and you do not leave, you will very likely be charged with trespassing when the police arrive.

What was the specific reason for them to ask him to leave, what triggered the trespass?
