Like you said they may send the notice to him, the issue is that isn't what is legally required it. The notice is to be provided at the time of the deboarding.  The whole point of this notice is to explain what is happening and why in a easy to understand written format. If their failure to provide the notice is believed to have escalated the events that then lead to the following injuries (up to a jury to decide) then they are going to be liable from a civil stand point for the injuries and other issues that came after.

Also his right to not be injured in the process of removal is going to be questioned. Reasonable force is subjective, but the officer already got sold out by the department so it stands to reason that a jury is probably going to question the force if the department is named in a lawsuit.

I agree that he is responsible for the larger issues here, however other's contributed and as a consumer and citizen it is important that those rights are honored or else we get into slippery slopes.

Who is learning that he has more rights? Everything that is being reported is explaining how the airlines can legally do this.

The only questionable issue becomes will the LEO be found to have used reasonable force?
