remove him from the plane? I doubt so. This kind of stupid violence police get in trouble for and they have the right to use physical violence when someone doesn't comply with their commands.

With a decent lawyer he will. My FIL has sued for much less and gotten much more

He'd have defense if he wasn't BREAKING THE LAW by refusing to leave.

Bloody mouth, excessive force. United is going down on this one

Actually wasn't United. And if I was on the Jury I would rule for the Police.

In no way shape or form does a "bloody lip" alone constitute excessive force.

There's got to be a lawsuit coming for this! Taking a legit paying customer who

What kills me is it's for 4 United Employees they were bumping paying customers

Because those 4 employees needed to run a flight out of Louisville the next day

Dont tell me there wasn't another flight they could have put them on.

Apparently there wasn't. The people who got bumped were getting put on a 3PM

Sorry, no pity for that.

I have no pity for them, either, but they had to pick which customers they were

Really? Those are the ONLY options available to United? Why not throw the pilots

It was only a 4.5 hour drive to Louisville, should have bused the employees
