Physician removed forcibly from United flight after overbooking--UPDATED

[randome]

233. 'Ponder', I said. There is so much wrong with this thread.

1. United was right to remove someone if the flight was, indeed, overbooked for whatever reason and if truly random criteria was used.
2. The passenger was not right to refuse.
3. The officer was right to forcibly remove him.
4. The officer was not right to use such excessive force.
5. None of the officers' actions are necessarily a reflection on United. Perhaps the blame belongs to that individual officer only.
6. The passenger said at first that he had to see people. He only claimed to be a doctor when it was clear he wasn't going to get to stay, which makes him suspect, imo.
7. The entire event is fucked up every which way you look at it.
