Yeah the whole O'Hare airport cops and Chicago cops thing is kinda fucked.

Bottom line is united had no right to remove him in the first place, so the cops never should have been there.

United, on Tuesday, appeared to backtrack from prior statements that the flight with Dr. Dao aboard — heading from O’Hare in Chicago to Louisville, Ky. — was overbooked.

Instead, Megan McCarthy, a spokeswoman for United, said the flight was full and then crew members, who were scheduled to operate a flight Monday morning from Louisville to Newark, N.J., needed seats on the plane. If the crew members had not been allowed to board, Ms. McCarthy said, the Monday morning flight would have been canceled.

Since the flight was not actually overbooked, but instead only fully booked, with the exact number of passengers as seats available, United Airlines had no legal right to force any passengers to give up their seats to prioritize others. What United did was give preference to their employees over people who had reserved confirmed seats,  which would have been a violation of 14 CFR 250.2a (if the flight  were overbooked, as United had originally claimed). Since Dr. Dao was already seated, it was clear that his seat had already been "reserved" and "confirmed" to accommodate him specifically.

Simmer down with your fuck-tardery and hypocrisy.  Lighten up!  Remember, you are going to need me and my kind to train you and your kind to kill liberals when the blesssd day of reckoning comes calling.  Sadly, some of you will need to be used as decoys....or doorstops.

The city of Chicago pays hundreds of millions in police brutality cases. I'm sure they are taking it very seriously.

Wait, so your telling me the media didn't do their job and verify the truthfulness BEFORE reporting something as fact? Shocking!

I live in United's hometown and I have not seen any press where United has tried to discredit Dao.

It still stands the media failed to properly vet information, as usual.

Of course they're not going to do it themselves, they have people for that.

Hell, I bet there's a PR firm that specializes in that sort of thing.

No. There are rules for doing so if you've taken someone's money and agreed to provide a specific service at a specific time.

Otherwise businesses could just fucking rob you whenever the fuck they wanted.

Your house isn't a fucking plane seat someone already paid for and you are contractually obligated to honor, but ok
