There was no property dispute. He told the cop he had moved out.

You keep ignoring the cop's introduction to the scene. It started with HER calling the cops. The key officer in the case stopped by on a quite ordinary call. Barnes said he was moved out. But, he made an attempt to prevent the officer from seeing the person (the woman) who called.

I believe he pushed the officer.

That's a real serious "Who struck john".

Wrong. It would have been trespassing if he was not the lawful resident, or robbery if there was no property dispute.

That he was in the process of leaving his wife was irrelevant.
