It really is fascinating how the public views this completely differently from the cops on the street detaining someone. It must be something psycholgical where they feel the guy was entitled because he's wealthy enough to be on the plane and not a black man pulled over for a tail light. Dragging someone who refuses to leave a plane has become worse than killing a man for announcing he is legally carrying a gun while at a traffic stop.
Not sure your going to see people get bumped from planes they are already on for being overcrowded going forward. Most the airlines have already updated their policies to avoid this. I don't think they side with him because he is "wealthy", they side with him because the experience is relatable. Many people fly, or have flown, and feel as if they are treated poorly in general during the experience. The idea that a customer was removed from his seat at no fault of his own after paying for it I believe bothers a lot of people.
