Dao was never violent. To be a scammer, he’d have needed to know in advance United would knock his teeth out. That’s a stupid premise.

The good doctor begged the airline’s agents to drag him off the plane, so they accommodated him. The fact that he was injured in the process is his fault for acting like an arsehole.

Your view is too sick and twisted to debate. I’ll just say this. No one on United’s legal team will be so staggeringly stupid as to suggest Dao wanted to be dragged off the plane. It takes an IQ of 80 or less to believe/argue that. Lawyers can’t be that stupid and pass the bar, so none of them will put forth such idiocy.

Looks like the Chicago Dept of Aviation also suspended a supervisor in addition to the 3 officers involved. Sounds pretty bad for them when their own dept. disavowed their behavior.

Could they even face criminal charges? There's a distinct possibility.
