What those who worship those in positions of authority refuse to understand is that the three thugs had no authority [power] to effect an arrest. They had limited authority [power] to detain. But that was it. Their proper course of action after he said no was exit the airplane and report what transpired to their supervisor. But that was not what happened. After he defied them, they decided to teach him a lesson and remove him by force. They accomplished both goals. They removed him from the plane by force and they taught him a lesson. They also taught United Airlines a less for which they had to write a very large check. The three thugs are not suspended and are waiting to hear if criminal charges will be filed against them. Their former head boss is now out of a job. They did not say why, but smart money would say that this incident factored heavily in that decision.
“What those who worship those in positions of authority refuse to understand is that the three thugs had no authority...”
There are people that love it when agents of the police state kick in someone’s teeth.
The cops are the liable party, not United airlines.
