I do not reside in the USA, so this comes from an outside view (a country where, I mention as a relevant example of cultural differences, shooting a robber that broke into your home/business and is threatening you with a weapon will definitely land YOU in for murder).
I read the PDF and all it seems to say is that what you do not have the right to do is use violence against a police officer to resist arrest, even if you think the arrest is improper. This sounds reasonable, given a proper legal framework for redress if the officer actually lacks grounds for the arrest. Also, you CAN refuse, even if only verbally (and I seem to rememeber from comments in some other forums that said refusal would even invalidate any evidence against you that the police might find on you or your property).
Please elaborate if I am wrong, but this seems like a storm in a teacup to me.
Also, given that this guy was by his own admission in process of permanently leaving the house, that his girlfriend was remaining there, that she called 911 because he was becoming violent, and that she gave the police permission to get in, I don't think that this defence would have applied in the first place, even if the ISSC had sustained this right to resist arrest/entry with violence.
