It’s worth noting that it may not be in Dr. Dao’s interests to have this case go to trial, either. The video clip from the passenger seated behind him, in which he tells the security staff that they have to drag him off the plane, could do a lot of harm to his case. Even the best trial attorney in the world will have a hard time explaining to a jury why the plaintiff is entitled to a huge pile of money when the defendants did exactly what he told them to do.
I’m sure that introducing Dr Doa’s face to the armrest was a legitimate police tactic.
By saying you can drag me off if you want to does not hurt, it shows they had s clear choice, and it was solely their decision.
The police had no business being involved in the first place. The man had committed no crime
oh bullsheet. Anybody with a spine would have told those jackboots “make me” just like he did. As a lawyer, I say that doesn’t hurt his case a bit.
