This was entirely United Airline's fault and the aircraft staff. They could have stopped issuing boarding passes once the plane was full or asked all the passengers who were willing to take another flight for a monetary reward. Instead they chose to get thugs to drag a man off the plane.
The plane wasn't over booked, they wanted 4 passengers to get off so 4 employees could take their seats.. I'm assuming they needed to send some employees to another airport for some reason.

Regardless this is a public nightmare because it's not just this one thing. There are all sorts of fucked up stories coming out of the woodwork from other shit they have done over the years.

How the cops treated that guy is fucking insane. It's not just united, the cops did that to him..
