Not necessarily. First off it's a viral video so of course the police are going to try and save face whether they actually think their LEO was wrong or right.
Secondly, him being suspended could be the abuse of force. Many a LEO's have removed pax from a/c, but not all involved ripping a guy out of his seat and dragging him.
Also him not being arrested doesn't mean anything. They easily could have felt he had been through enough and it didn't warrant damaging the guys life further. I am glad to hear he isn't being charged. It was simply an unfortunate incident all around.
