In case you didn’t see the shocking video, United Airlines is in some serious hot water after forcibly (aka, pretty damn violently) removing a passenger from a flight on Sunday.
No, the man wasn’t causing a disturbance; he was chosen randomly to be kicked off after the flight was overbooked.

What happened next was terrifying and shocking not just to the other passengers but also to the rest of us!
See the most horrified Twitter reactions to the “re-accomodation” images (below):
cannot wait to use “i will re-accommodate your ass” in my next fight

Spoke to a kind representative at @united about using our miles on another airline. She was appalled by what happened.

Am I only one wondering if United thing wouldn’t happen if every airport employee w a badge hadn’t been somehow emboldened since January?

So @united sucks. But the Chicago police who dragged the man off the flight are also monsters. Police using unnecessary force, again.
