Looking for "volunteers".

Nice of them to select the only none white person in shot.

America is a f***ing disgusting country.

 

[Kevj]

Hardly dignified, poor bloke.

 

[Julio_legend]

They tasered the poor bastard. The state of that bloody country

 

[ajthemackem]

That's absolutely f***ing horrendous.

Google maps says it only takes four and a half hours to drive between the two places. Why couldn't United just hire a taxi for their employees?

Ameteur hour this. Usually you get incentives from any normal Airlune for giving your seat up. He was allowed to keep his teeth thanks to United.

Truly Disgusting behaviour. It would've probably cheaper to book their staff on another flight, than the impending court case, compensation and the loss of revenue due to the bad PR it's created.

Was he wearing leggings?

 

[TicoTorres]

The state of that man. Poor bloke was petrified.

 

[Hugh Gains]

From what ive read the bloke had paid for his seat.

United realised they had overbooked and asked for volunteers and offered $800

Then Forced this guy off.

Shocking to be honest.

What a bunch of kernts ! .

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Overbooking is pretty standard in the US. Assault shouldn't be

 

[superflex]

truly shocking behavior from United.

If you offer enough money someone will take a later flight. Just keep upping the amount till someone bites.

It's not been a good couple of weeks for United's PR department has it?

Except they hadn't overbooked. They just had to 'suddenly' shift some of their staff to another airport to crew a different plane.

The bigger crime here is that the United cabin crew all look like Zelda from Terrahawks

Disgusting that.

Mind also disgusted that several grown men just sat there like school kids with their phones out and passively let it happen. Would have expected at least a few people standing at their seats trying to reason with the "coppers":

It's the US, there's a good chance you'd get shot.

What and get shot for obstructing them?
