It doesn't matter if he was part of the disturbance, a witness, or someone who just happened by - He was on the scene and a potential suspect, and when police tried to question him he failed to cooperate. At that point police believed he was a suspect and that he was involved, and decided to detain him until the situation was figured out. He resisted.
At that point, he did in fact break the law - resisting arrest.

American citizens are not required to cooperate with the police by answering questions or providing explanations. There is no evidence in this video that this guy resisted being detained nor any evidence that he was under arrest at any point. That's just speculation. It's just as likely that these officers grabbed him up to bully and intimidate him for the non-crime of "contempt of cop" and in the process killed the poor bastard.
