text: You would never know from the mentality here. According to the corporate bootlickers, cops exist to make sure business' get what they want.
  
  BTW, according to both FAA regulation and United's own Contract of Carriage, once the passenger was boarded they had no legal reason to eject him from the plane. His refusal to surrender a seat he paid for is not in violation of either of those things. If they airline wanted to bump him, they needed to do it at the gate prior to boarding - that is both law and policy. Police are supposed to forcibly remove passengers from a plane when they break they law, not a companies desire to move four of their employees to another hub at minimal cost.
