Thanks for posting the video @Ken Anderson. It wouldn't load the first time, but I was successful the 2nd time. I can see now that he was in the street, standing about and moving slowly across the street in the crosswalk, so he was obstructing traffic. His posture seemed a bit odd once they had removed the 'tree' from him, so I would guess he's either protesting the cutting of trees for Christmas, or perhaps experiencing some sort of mental health issues.
I tried a few times to load the video, didn't work for me. Just showed a second of the clip then went to something else.
