While that man will not agree (nor would I in the situation), there's a net benefit to passengers if the crew gets on.

Say the crew is set to fly a 150-seat 737 the next days. If they don't get to Louisville, that flight they were supposed to operate cancels, and the next flight they were supposed to fly also cancels and the next and the next, inconveniencing 150 people on flight 1, flight2, flight 3, etc. Ignoring the police part (as I said, this guy should have been IDB'ed in advance of boarding) that's one angry inconvenienced person versus 450 or more.
Now a couple of caveats:
1. The plane probably wasn't 150 seats, I expect it was something like a 76-seater out of Louisville
2. If the crew could get on the first flight of the morning to Louisville, then they could operate their schedule, albeit delayed, which is still and inconvenience to passengers, but a murkier case.
