Frankly, that is really, really bizarre. I can’t for the life of me see a situation where that happens, but it happened.

So they bust his face up, drag him out of the plane, and then leave him dazed and bleeding to walk back on the plane.

Do you realize how screwed these cops are?

Something strange happened there.

But to get past the protections cops have you need to be able to PROVE they went well beyond legal force to accomplish their law-enforcement goal. It is a very high hurdle.

Once the airline asked the man to debark, no matter why, and the cops were called and the passenger resisted, the cops were probably within procedure and the law in taking him off physically.

I think the lawyers are hoping the outrage will influence the jury more than the facts or the law. MOstly they want to leverage a fear of that to get a settlement. of which they (the lawyers) will keep most.
