Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Very bad is putting it lightly. What they did was illegal. It was completely unjust. They turned a legal physical removal into plain assault.
It's simple understanding really. Given the situation, facts and video evidence, there is absolutely nothing to suggest it warranted that response. It doesnt matter what laws were broken by the passenger. Reasonable justifiable force. Do you shoot an unarmed shoplifter that's not going anywhere? No because it's not justifiable. Do you use ridiculous force to remove a passenger from a flight because he won't move? No. You use proper techniques to avoid both danger and injury. They failed at this miserably and the plain clothes officer showed pure aggression and little patience. Like earlier that has absolutely no use in security or law enforcement and should be assertiveness.
That case along in court is just open and shut. It's undefendable, unless you're OJ Simpson.
There's no debate here really, whatever people believe is morally wrong and right is irrelevant. Just what's legal and what's illegal. So bringing it on himself as it was put just doesn't matter at all. It doesnt matter what options were available. Assault was committed that wasn't justifiable to the crime committed.
