The guy who was attacked by security on a United flight is said to have a concussion, missing front teeth, and a broken nose. Too many cops and security people are violent thugs who should be locked up.

I have a friend who works for United and is very defensive about this. He points out that the staff on the plane were not United employees, rather contractors, and it was airport security who beat the victim. Of course the policy to drag people off flights, instead of buying them out at any cost, must come from United management.

They’ve refunded the ticket price of everyone on the flight, lost a million in market value, and will pay millions in a settlement. They could have easily bought someone’s seat from them for far less.
