Passenger Violently Dragged Off Overbooked United Flight

Reminder: If United (Or Any Other Airline) Bumps You, It's Supposed To Pay You. There are other options besides dragging someone off a flight.

If this situation happened here (it can't), you can be sure a MD would be the last person to be asked to give his seat.
Sue their asses, doctor.

Saw 3 different videos of this posted earlier today. 1 shows a slight distance away from it and you can see him get his head banged, another was only a seat diagonally away from him and even longer, and a 3rd video of him returning to the plane with blood on his mouth saying "I need to go home" or something and "Kill me". I'm wondering what on Earth they didn't understand about him saying his whole thing about he can't leave the plane because he's a doctor and going to some place to save somebody. Did they check any details on him to understand that or are they dumb? I suppose somebody might try using that as an excuse to keep their seat, but it sounds like a important enough thing that you'd want to check and verify before yanking a guy out of his seat at full force causing him to smash his face into a seat very hard causing him to bleed and look like he lost consciousness. Those 3 officers should have a test to see if they know what a doctor is. If I heard somebody explain they're a doctor and need to be on the flight to be somewhere tomorrow to save somebody, I'd lazily just go with somebody else, or at the very least do a quick little bit of verification. It could have been worse and that smash to the face could have killed the guy.

They should be careful, Trump might bomb them because of his feelings without an investigation like he did Syria.

I'm blind, checked that again and they punched him in the face. I thought his face smashed into the side of the seat at first.

Tough shit, get lawyers that can delete footage from the Internet before judges can see them.

Never used them but f@ck them forever. If you refuse people that record your crimes, then sink and die.
