In your scenario, if asked to leave and I refuse to comply, and you call the cops and they agree it's you're place and I have to go, I go. I would want a refund and other compensation sure, but I would not tell the police to F off.
Acting like airlines willingly fork over that compensation is disingenuous. They don't; you have to fight them to get due compensation. If you don't know your rights, then all the better for them, they save money. They will not inform you of your rights.
