If an officer has a reasonable suspicion a person has or is committing a crime, he has a right to detain. The only limitation as to the amount of force he can use to effect the detention is deadly force. Of course, if the detainee were to assault the officer to the point where he fears, even deadly force would be allowed.
What super-genius Dillion is basing his most happiest hopes upon are the number of interweb videos where a person is stopped at an immigration checkpoint. There, the border patrol has no suspicion, let alone a reasonable one, that would allow a detention. When you see the videos, the awesome freedom fighter gains great satisfaction from not telling the border patrol agent he is a citizen. I suppose because it is because that would admit he...well admit the reality of who he is. Awesome, super job. You win. Here? Not so much.
If a police officer detains you, do what he orders. If you don't, you will be properly arrested. While you may have a legal case later, on THIS day he will use all the tools at his disposal to get you to comply. Some of those tools are quite unpleasant.
