I have said all along that it was the cops who beat the guy up and dragged him off the plane. United did not do it.
They overbooked, they ordered the hit.

It was actually a Republic airlines plane. And one of the reasons for calling the cops in the first place is to avoid liability.
“I have said all along that it was the cops who beat the guy up and dragged him off the plane. United did not do it.”
It appears they were not “cops”. They weren’t even TSA agents.
Here’s the problem with the “United dint do nuffin”. SInce 9/11, if an airline reports you as an “unruly” it green lights actual law enforcement to go into full battle mode. United is aware of it so is fully culpable, especially when the customer is doing nothing illegal.
