Police do not have free reign to do whatever they want. They have SOP's they have to follow, just like any other industry. Per their SOP's, they should have never boarded that plane.
"There was even confusion among officers about their duties. Jeff Redding, the deputy commissioner of security for the aviation department, said officers are instructed not to board planes unless there's an imminent threat."
Even the UA CEO is now admitting that they royally fucked up.
"This will never happen again," Munoz told ABC News' "Good Morning America" in an exclusive interview."We are not going to put a law enforcement official onto a plane to take them off … to remove a booked, paid, seated passenger. We can't do that."
"It was a system failure," Munoz said. "We have not provided our frontline supervisors and managers and individuals with the proper procedures that would allow them to use their common sense.
"They all have an incredible amount of common sense, and this issue could have been solved by that," he added. "This is on me. I have to fix that, and I think that's something we can do."
And yes, Dr. Dao will be rich beyond his wildest imagination.
"In an instance like this, it would be beyond insanity to do anything more than bring [Dao] into a conference room and basically say there's a check on the desk, it's signed, just fill in the amount," said New York trial attorney Randy Zelin.
Lol you don't even read the posts only what you want.
Tell a police officer that they're over stepping their legal boundary and see how far you get. I'm sure if you were on that plane you'd made sure that they knew what they could and couldn't do.
I've always said UA was wrong. But they didn't physically remove the passenger the police did. The police must have not known they were in over their heads legally. Were those officers arrested? Surely they can't just do what they want.....
Just read what I said instead of arguing.
