These guys are also basically Rosa Parks. Important video about your most underrated civil right itt:

Lol! Please there is no need to use analogies to discuss this situation, as it is clear cut.

First they came for our organizing and collective bargaining rights,
and we gave them up for the good of the corporations and the collective good.

Then they came for our privacy and right to use marijuana,
and we gave them up for the good of our security and the interests of law and order.

Then they came for our rights as workers to be treated humanly in the workplace,
And again we gave it up for the corporate good.

Now they are coming for our rights as consumers and users of services.
Will we give it up again for the corporate good? And when will the corporations give up something for us?

I mean at some point if he doesn't leave the restaurant he's going to get dragged out of the place by police. The fact that he was UNJUSTLY DENIED a hamburger doesn't mean the police weren't justified in removing him.

Keeeeeeeeed's analogy needs the patron to be high af imo.

"It's his restaurant. He's well within the law to tell that black man to leave."

Remember that one of the main points of argument against the Civil Rights legislation of the 1960s was "private property rights."

The whole united thing is enough to get me to avoid using them in the future. so there's that

I hope the guy wins a big fat lawsuit against United.

Everyone put your pussy hats back on, because once einbert figures out how to call the black cop that pulled this guy out of his seat an alt right neo nazi we are marching on the White House and impeaching Trump tonight.

I don't care about the seat. The point is the threshold to use force and the degree. In this case the passengers who were there pretty clearly felt the cops were brutal. No matter to you, he should stop being a baby about the seat THAT IS NOT HIS.

Dude won't get up: bash him in the mouth.

Dude goes over 3 minutes at the mic: taze him bro.

Dude walks down the middle of the street while black: shoot him a bunch of times.

The minimum amount of force should be used and usually it's zero. Excessive force is a hell of a lot bigger crime than this passenger committed and any decent person should be on Orwell's side here.

Once again:

"when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on."

United was 100% in the wrong. End of story.

Exactly.

They used a computer to randomly select four people to exit the plane. How ****ed up is that? Can use a computer to do that but not overbook your own flights?

United, sure. Bad customer service. But the violence is the fault of the individuals who did it. Getting paid and following orders doesn't make it better.

Uh. United has a hand in the violence. You don't call security without some knowledge that violence as an outcome is a possibility.

The cops didn't just show up and bitchslap this guy out of his seat. How long are you supposed to keep asking a guy who may be on drugs to get off the plane?
04-10-2017 , 03:28 PM
Odds the United guy was Dr. Ikes?

Next time you pay for a service and it isn't rendered I am going to ask you if you're on drugs when you get mad.

As if the only two options are leave the guy and all the passengers there forever or beat the guy. How about the obvious third option, already mentioned, about increasing the compensation offer until someone else says yes?

Judging from the amount of blood if it was a bitchslap it was a hell of a bitchslap and the cop must have been wearing big rings. Maybe like one of those big gold rings that goes across his whole hand and spells out "OBEY".

If I grab onto a curtain and mutter "I have to go home" over and over you would be correct to do so.

How long is wookie going to let people who are clearly on drugs continue to troll this thread?

Like this is a clear cut example of the butterfly effect in action. United doesn't staff properly, united overbooks flight, united realizes they didn't staff properly, united offers compensation, no one accepts, united randomly chooses, one of those chosen is a doctor who needs to get home for to keep appointments, doctor refuses, doctor gets beat up and dragged off the plane, everyone else is delayed, doctor might have to cancel on his patients, those patients now have unforseen consequences, and on and on and on.

Tldr: united screwed up
