[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The states and local jurisdictions need to stop letting the cops be used to further United corporate interests. This is a waste of tax payer money and takes the police away from doing more important work. If there is a safety or a security issue - then its appropriate for the local police to become involved but removing a passenger because United employees want a free seat? Even if it had been over booked, United needs to compensate the paying passengers that didn't get on or raise the incentives for volunteers not use the CPD as its personal bouncers to save money.

+ a million.   That right there is what is so galling about this case.  United used the cops to protect their money.[/quote]

And I'm going to guess that when all the facts come out we'll learn that United staff likely characterized Mr Dao as belligerent and unruly to the aviation cops as a means to get them onto the plane to do United's dirty work. I'm sure United did NOT characterize the situation accurately (that a paying customer needed to be bumped to accommodate staff). United clearly did so much wrong here but I think there are still lots of unsavory things to be revealed. I read that the CEO said  United would be reimbursing everyone on that flight the cost of their tickets. I sure hope for their sake they aren't trying to attach any conditions to that (ticket reimbursement in exchange for keeping your mouth shut). But somehow, I don't put t past United to be just that dumb. [/quote]

Totally agree United has shown itself to be ill run, ill advised, currupt, inconsistent and incompetent - on top of what Dao will rightfully bring in his suit.against.  It is very obvious  United made a false report to get the cops to show up, no doubt. I hope that is included in the case. I suspect more than one phone call was made, to further fabricate and add to the subterfuge. Police departments are wising up to this transparent (and illegal) tactic. [/quote]
