The cop will have to prove that there was a reasonable suspicion that the man committed a crime. Talking loudly is not reasonable suspicion. If the woman had a black eye or somebody on the scene said that there was an assault on the woman there would have been reasonable suspicion. That did not exist. [/quote]

No. The burden of proof is going to depend on who is bringing a lawsuit. If the guy brings a civil suit against the cops, he's going to have to prove some things. If the State brings a criminal case against the guy, it's going to have to prove some things. And reasonable suspicion of a crime is not the only thing that would justify use of force. If the guy refused a lawful order to move away from a witness while the cop sought to interview that witness, the cop would have justification to use some level of force to stop him from interfering with that investigation.

No internal affairs need to investigate too.

You can’t order people around if there is no suspicion of a crime.[/quote]

There was suspicion of a crime. Someone called in a domestic dispute between the guy and his girlfriend, arguing on the street. At that point, the police officer has enough to stop them, separate them, and make sure she's o.k. It's not at all unreasonable to make him go stand somewhere else while he asks her these questions.

No the police have an obligation to respond. Upon their response they can see with their own eyes and the statements from the caller there was no crime.

At this point the cop escalated the situation which is against his training. He is legally bound to follow his training.

It’s reasonable to ask HER to walk to the side to ask questions, it’s also reasonable for her to refuse. The cops can see with their own eyes she is free to go and there is no abuse.

Detaining somebody that has not committed a crime with no reasonable suspicion is illegal.
