I think he was the victor. There’s basically a zero percent chance he’s losing this one.
David Koresh shouldn't have shot back at those "search warrant" servers either.
ML/NJ
And yes, I get it that he “lost” in the moment.
He will be much richer and United will be be much poorer, cops loosing jobs. How did the Dr loose?
Since 3 suckers got up, that means ALL FOUR employees were indispensable at wherever they were going?
If he wins we all lose.
So if he was under arrest, how did he manage to get back on the plane?
Where were the arresting officers when he was stumbling around all dazed and bloody?
>>He will be much richer and United will be be much poorer, cops loosing jobs. How did the Dr loose?<<
Probably not as much as people think. UA and the cops will probably get together and offer a settlement just to make it go away but it won’t be massive.
If you break event this down to its constituent components the passenger was mostly at fault and many jurisdictions allow % fault to enter into monetary awards.
Would you address the issue of the cops letting him getting back on the plane?
Oh yes they most certainly do. They have the right to quit at any time they feel the order given to them is wrong or unconstitutional.
They do not have to go door to door collecting weapons if they were given the order to do so. Like wise they did not have to beat up someone who paid for their seat five months ago. The choice was always theirs to make.
The police are humans who have a free will and the ability to make decisions, if they do something they know is wrong, under the guise of "just following orders", they are still doing wrong. They do not have to, but they want to, perhaps for 30 pieces of silver, it makes no difference, cops are not robots.

Frankly, that is really, really bizarre. I can’t for the life of me see a situation where that happens, but it happened.
It would be a minor factor in any lawsuit IMHO.
I don’t half to follow an unlawful order from the police. For example, if I’m in a public place and taking photos, they can’t order me to stop taking photos. (assuming I’m not hindering their operation)
This is a by product of laws not being enforced equally for all.
This dude figured he could choose not to follow the law in the form of police instructions to leave.
Now imo he’s going to be very rich due to this incident.
... Just wanted to say that about after-effects of selective law enforcement....
That they let him back on bloodied, dazed and confused requiring dental work and maybe some plastic surgery demonstrates they had no real imperative and maybe not the authority.
He may have screamed like a bitch but, pretty sure they get bitch slapped by him and are forced to eat a shit sandwich.
The CEO’s statements afterward and actions such as compensation for all who flew that flight that day Arndt gonna help anyone but, the man they tortured.
That’s a good point, but we should all keep in mind that making a determination about what constitutes a “lawful order” is never a good idea when you’re in someone else’s property.
If I had been on that flight and saw the old guy getting the business I would have given up my seat. That fact that NOBODY on that flight did that says a lot about how selfish our society has become.
The real story is how none of the other passenger would be willing to give up their seat for the old guy. Anyone of them could have made this painful situation stop at anytime. Nobody did. That is the real story.
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?
(Lose)
Well for one thing the whole world got to hear him screaming like a little bitch.
