Analysis of the United Airlines passenger removal incident
The how and why these people were asked to get of the plane isn&#x27;t the story.  There is a big mash of different companies behind the uniforms.  We know they are all cut-throats.  But people are asked&#x2F;told to get off planes every day.  It isn&#x27;t right but happens without issue every hour of every day.  So for me this story begins and ends with why violence was used against this particular person.  That has much less to do with United than it does with the rent-a-cops who work in places like airports.<p>Real cops don&#x27;t, shouldn&#x27;t, wear jeans.  These guys showing up in t-shirts and jeans says to me they are thugs with no respect for their job.  That they didn&#x27;t first clear the other passengers from the area means they are untrained.  That they didn&#x27;t ask to see the man&#x27;s ID, that they didn&#x27;t put pen to note paper, before laying hands tells me they are inexperienced.  United may be financially responsible for its underlings, but that&#x27;s just legal doctrine.  I reserve my anger for those three realworld people.
