Rules are rules... And part of your rights are to follow them not ignore them whenever you feel like it.
Yes, in an airport (and a plane), when airport authorities or police request you to de-plane, you blindly agree because it is the law and you should be smart enough (the dude was not) to understand that you will get out of the plane no matter what (if you think are wrong or right about the decision does not matter at this time)...

Then after that you can sue, cry, act the way you want and defend your "rights"... But again, that's 2 different things.

"Rules" are not Laws. The man had not broken any law. The Police is supposed to uphold the law, they are not there to enforce the rules of a private organisation. There was no security concerns or dangerous situation. 

Actually, I'd say that upholding the law is a secondary goal to enforcing the rules of private organisations for the police.
