The thing is that the public today is entitled. That's the reason this happened.
Let's look at the facts:
1. It wasn't a United airplane, it was a Republic airplane.
2. The passenger was asked at least a dozen times to deplane by the crew, agents, and then the police officers.
3. Regardless of is you bought a ticket or not, that airplane is still private property. It's not your seat and it sure isn't your airplane.
The man had every right to complain with United, the airport, the DOT or whoever else he wanted to at the ticket counter. When you refuse to deplane when asked you are in violation of the LAW. When a police officer asks you multiple times to deplane you are in violation of the LAW. The man was injured because he resisted when those officers went to grab him in order to remove him. They didn't shove his face in the armrest, they went to pull him and when because he resisted he smacked his face into the armrest.
Could have the situation been handled better by the staff and the officers? Sure. There's a million different ways this could have been handled.
Is United at fault for this person having his face smashed into the armrest? Absolutely not.
Most people don't like the facts because they like drama and they like to play the victim role. Big bag United versus poor Asian doctor. Yeah ok...

To answer your question, seems over the top, but I'm not going to convict without seeing the evidence. Sorry if that morally outrages you.

As far as the racism part the only way to scientifically prove the cop was racist is to recreate the scenario with 4 hot blondes and 8 gentiles and 3 asians. If he breaks the faces of 3 asians while being gentile with the others then I will forfeit this internet argument with you. (Sarcasm)
