I don't know how it got to the point that it did, but the police had to do their job and he only made it worse for himself by resisting the way he did. It's the captains plane, if they are told to remove a person, they remove that person and they don't ask twice.


The Waffen SS had to do their job too. Stop pretending it excuses how this was handled, and stop using the loaded terminology of resisting when discussing the cops. He wasn't under arrest and he was in a place he was legally entitled to be. At no point is the airline's behavior excusable.

Their own rules basically show they had no right to remove this guy from the plane and getting the police involved was a mistake. This guy would definitely have a case if he took this to court.

Pretty much this. I don't entirely blame the security though as they were doing their job and they probably didn't know the background. I blame it on United still 100%. As you say, he was not under arrest or in the act of a crime or anything of the sort. The problem is that the airline could've easily just sorted this out without any physical force just by doing what their policy is, offering monetary compensation for someone to take a later flight. They gave a half-ass attempt at that, AND did it after boarding, which they are not supposed to do.

Yeah he'll get a fat settlement and we won't hear about it because the money will come with an NDA. Or maybe he has money as a doctor and doesn't give a fuck and will tell us what United offers him for his silence, that'd be nice.

United Airlines is just lucky that the randomly selected passenger didn't just happen to be black.

I would have accepted the voucher and got off the plane long before law enforcement got involved or offered to get off in his place. you're only seeing what the outraged self-righteous virtue-signaling female with the iphone wanted you to see. The airline has to stay on schedule and the passenger refused to voluntarily get off and no one else offered to get off in his place. He only has himself to blame for acting like a child.

also this:
http://www.state.ky.us/agencies/kbml/finalorders/22439.pdf

David Dao was indicted in 2003 by a grand jury for criminal acts of trafficking in a controlled substance, obtaining drugs by fraud and deceit, and unauthorized prescribing, dispensing, or administering of controlled substences.

During the investigation of all of this, it was discovered that he had become s-xually interested in a patient who was referred to him. During the initial evaluation, he performed a complete physical examination, including a genital examination, for the patient who had been referred for collapsed lungs and chest pain.

He then made the patient his office manager. Then he quit his job, and they ended up in some weird situation where prescriptions were exchanged for sexual acts.

In 2005 he lost his medical license.

In 2007 he completed a clinical skills assessment, which demonstrated that his knowledge was "outdated and also contained gaps that would not likely be fully explained by his time away from the practice."

He showed that he "lacked competence with acid-based disorders, ventilator management, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and current evaluation and treatment of shock," which is hysterically ironic considering his current predicament.


didn't think i'd have to go to jsp to find views more extreme than that of the brietbarts comment section where most of them take the side of the passenger - although they do it while blaming the democrats/communists for the way the airline handled this

Then all the racist crybabies would call this racist by presuming it was because he's black.
Hypocrisy at its best.

This. I'm glad he wasn't. Granted there are already articles of "is it because he was Asian?" swirling about. I don't like people comparing this to Rodney king/Michael brown type of excessive force shit. Unlike those two examples, this guy on the plane didn't commit a crime prior to being dragged off the plane.

Now that the policy of raising the price until someone agrees has been brought to the public attention, can't people use it to their advantage? Next time it happens, everyone can just sit on it until it gets to $500k lol
