They did not follow the proper procedures to remove him (break contract). So your statement of "Doctor defies police order to leave plane that he was no right to be on " is false as he had a right to be there. As for what happened afterwards it obviously was enough to warrant suspensions and no charges being filed.

This is just demonstrably false.

Maybe you know more than an aviation law professor. I'm sorry if me ignoring some random dude over law professors makes you think that I won't listen. I just go to experts for my information, not the Bengals Board. 

Quote:As to being uncomfortable, it's not about being uncomfortable, your trying to draw parallels that aren't there. You were wrong about the outcome of this case and you don't like the outcome. The false parallel into a race debate doesn't hold water, but we can have that debate on another thread where it isn't a red herring.

Though I teach sociology, I won't paint myself as an expert. This is my opinion. The parallels are there. "Civilian is injured after an interaction with the cops". You can take issue with my suggestion that race is tied into this, and I will disagree since race and socioeconomics are forever tied in our culture, but don't be dishonest and say there are no parallels when one post ago you were trying to excuse the difference in attitudes of the general population. 

As for this topic, I just can't entertain upper middle class entitlement and ignore lower class strife.
