Mad alright, anybody would think that the police were on the side of the big corporation while simultaneously  absolving themselves of all culpability.

Would love to hear how the NRA would have dealt with it....
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Jaysus! If photoshopped, it's brilliant. If it was the airline's doing, you really couldn't make it up!

Mind you, if this United CEO had some lackeys on here to defend him, like, oh, some other random, hypothetical CEO of a hypothetical organisation whose name escapes me, they might point out that he doesn't micromanage seat bookings nor physically remove passengers from seats himself like.....

America is getting odder. The legal reality is the airline were perfectly entitled to boot passengers off and they are breaking the law if they don't immediately leave.

Also its the slide into police state. The cop was called and unquestioningly battered am old man. It's a civil market and the state should not take sides. The line between the state and corporations has been eroded to the point they are interchangeable.

The good Doctor has hired one of the best lawyers in the US who's won over a billion in settlements in his profession as a lawyer.

Saw on Twitter alot of editors reckon the lawyer's gonna make mince meat out of United Airlines and make the good doctor millions.

The LA times obtained the police reports of the arresting officers, all injuries were self inflicted while resisting arrest according to the reports.
