Anybody suggesting that compliance with authority figures is the only way to keep from getting beat within an inch of your life are so far removed from the reality of being a human that it's just sad.
Dr. Dao is a fellow human being and didn't deserve what he got. All of the bad publicity, loss of public goodwill and huge cash settlement is because of United Airlines was totally negligent in their handling of him.
Who cares that he argued? Who cares that he was a drug addict? Who cares if he didn't comply?
None of those things warrant a complete negation of his rights and him being beat, almost to death.
What Nazi, police state are some of you guys wanting to live in? JFC, get some perspective on your white entitlement.
Wow - it’s narrative like this that not only displays ignorance of the event, but ignorance on part of the person if they actually believe this, making their argument null and void, in my opinion. Almost beat to death, huh...? A fist was never laid on him, from what I’ve seen. He resisted removal from his seat and face planted the arm rest while fighting the men trying to convince him to leave. A beating never happened. If I’m wrong, then show me footage I haven’t seen yet.
Don’t be a lemming and do some research instead of being a lazy parrot.
