Regardless, even if the cops were in the wrong, they gave him orders, he refused to follow them. That is a crime, you cannot deny that. After the fact if it is proven the airline or LEO was in the wrong, then you sort it out.
It is not at all clear if the cops were in the wrong it was unlawful to follow their orders. The cop being suspended already and the guy apparently not being arrested would indicate there is at least some doubt about this.
