Yeah the lawsuit is as expected, worded in a way to drag both entities through court at the same time. They'll claim United Airlines didn't do enough before calling for physical removal and of course they'll claim they were assaulted and I think they have a fair case on both accounts.
I expect United to either try and settle and/or throw the law enforcement under the bus. I'm not sure if the city will try and settle though, then again I can't see it ever going on their favour though. It's unjust assault with complete video evidence, there's not really much to defend themselves with.

They're not private security and have no affiliation to any airlines, they're City Police assigned to Airport law enforcement that operate under the Chicago police department.
