really..so i was dragging lets say your mom or dad off the plane like an animal you wouldn't want to kill me? you're telling me you going to sit calm and not break my face. it easy to talk when the person getting dragged is not related to you
-
Really... you're really going to defend this line of "reasoning," that an acceptable response to an officer forcibly removing someone from a plane is to shoot them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
like i said there's way to treat a fellow human being if you're going to act like dck then you deserve the same

Again, not denying it was handled poorly. However, they were brought onto the aircraft to fulfil a role, which happened to be to remove an uncooperative passenger who had been selected at random to leave the plane.
Nobody else was volunteering themselves to give up their seat(so their outrage is quite laughable), despite the financial incentives on offer, and the airline has to prioritise the greater good. They can't hold up an entire flight for one individual, no matter what people think.
We saw the back end of the confrontation, which is obviously the "juicy" bit. They didn't just walk onto the place and physically accost the guy without warning.. No doubt there was a long winded battery draining conversation beforehand that the "videographer" didn't deign to share with the public.
Back to the original point, nobody deserves to be shot for doing their job - even if they handled it poorly. If the guy hadn't physically resisted then he wouldn't have injured his own face, would he?

On the flip side, it is a tough situation, .They facked up by not informing people before they got on the flight that it was over booked but once in that situation, what can you do. The whole flight couldn't have taken off without the seats being able to be used by staff so passengers had to leave. If it is drawn at random in this situation (and I reckon there will be fine print covering this situation) and a passenger refuses to leave, what exactly are the staff going to do?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GT lobs grenade and slowly steps back.
Only joking mate
The whole situation is mad, they overbooked the flight and wanted to free up some seats for their own staff to fly to Chicago (I think) so they could work a flight the next day.
They asked people to voulenteer to wait for a flight the next day, offered a hotel and $400, no one offered to leave, they upped it to $800 but again no one offered to leave.
So they said their computer would randomley pick people to leave the fligth so the united airlines staff could take the seats. This doctor was randomley (not sure how random this actually was) and refused to leave saying he had to get to Chicago to see patients the next morning, they called security who then did what the did to remove him.
How the feck can a company kick people off a flight to accomodate their own staff! That is an absolute joke, they overbooked the flight, it's their fault so surley the customer comes first?
Also no one on the plans seems to try help the doctor or even speak out, all just recording it, not having you'd be shot for standing up for the guy, even jus tto say relax and don't be so rough with him.
I'd have kicked off real bad if that was me being dragged off.

It wasn't staff for this fligth though they wanted to fly staff so they coudl work a different fligth from the destination city the next day, that is totally different and it's the airlines problem not the passengers.
Imagine Ryanir trying to do this to a stag party heading to Magaluf

The west doesn't just mean the USA. And the USA is also a massive country with many different people in it. This has nothing to do with the west or how it acts as the way this was handled is not uniform or representative of the west at all.

Same situation though. Tomorrow's flight doesn't go if they don't get back,.,,,
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Again not the passengers on this fligths problem and somethign the airline need to sort out, refuse to believe an airline the size of united couldn't arrange other staff to go on the flight the next day.
It's ridiculous, would you be happy being selected to get off a flight you've paid for because the company fecked up?

People today are cowards too, you see it all the time, sit back and watch when something happens as opposed to trying to help, all camera phones and then posts to social media with faux outrage.

I would argue that the truth is that they
a) wanted to go viral
b) were inwardly delighted that he was getting booted off so that they could get home
faux outrage is a fad at the moment.. It'll pass.
The guy was asked to leave he didn't, i have no sympathy for him.
If the staff needed to be in Chicago for a flight the next day, that is the airlines priority, 80 to 200 plus people would have suffered.
In the current climate anyone that does not do as asked or told on public transport deserves all they get.
On top of that, he screams like a girl.

For a thousand dollars and a hire car to make the three hour drive to the flight destination, I'd have bitten their hand off. Why do these fantastic offers never come my way?
