Don't tell her a thing.
Why ?

I would like to be her boyfriend, but it's not that I want to get with her or anything. I just can't see how she can love him because I've known him for a long time. I know how he is, and the things she complains about bother me.

You are too biased. She may complain about how she's being treated, but so often do girls make mountains out of molehills. You may see it as "emotional abuse"... the rest of her friends may see it as "ordinary lovers quarrels".
The only one who can really tell is her, and it is up to her to get out of the situation. I suspect you've already told her how you feel in one form or the other... and just are asking this question to see how blunt you should get.
You somehow hope to help her out, for whatever reason.. but your opinions aren't completely fair as long as you WOULD date her. You subconciously want to play the knight in shining armor, the "other" guy, the "nice guy", the underappreciated hero..but it won't work. I've been there.
Go find another girl, get your own significant other, and after you've had her awhile, go back and tell your friend that she's being abused if you like. I doubt you'll even care by the point... but if you do, you'll have an unbiased reason to tell her.
