OP, can you really not see how throwing your keys, phone and badge in the trash and then walking off the job could be seen as quitting?
Unless dude said "you're fired", technically you're not fired even though him requesting your keys, phone and badge implies just that.
That's why I initially said that he got the response out if you that he was looking for. Dude put you in a situation where on paper, you look like you were in the wrong (which you partially were). He was wrong too, but by getting you to walk off the job by pissing you off enough, he pretty much made it appear that you quit.
You might have a case for your employer creating a hostile work environment due to him physically stepping to you. But unlawful termination? Highly doubt it.
