Two Chicago Aviation Officers Fired For Role In Dragging United Passenger From Flight

More than six months after a ticketed United Airlines passenger was forcibly removed from a flight by Chicago law enforcement personnel, two of the four Chicago Department of Aviation Security officers involved have been fired.

According to a new report [PDF] from Chicago’s Inspector General Joseph Ferguson, an Aviation Security officer and a sergeant were fired. A third officer resigned, and the fourth received a two-day suspension.

The OIG’s investigation found that the officers “mishandled a non-threatening situation that resulted in a physically violent and forceful removal” of Dr. David Dao from the United flight headed to Louisville on April 9.

The report details Dao’s injuries due to the “use of excessive force,” including a concussion, a broken nose, and the loss of two teeth.

Now we will have to suffer being next to a nut job on the plane because know one will remove the passenger. So typical. If the person is drunk or high the plane will be grounded and 300 people will have to wait until a negotiator is called in and plea to the drunk fool. All because of a snowflake and iPhone.

the only nutjob associated with this is you. why don't you fools understand there is a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things? What happened to that doctor is an example of doing things the wrong way.

And you totally ignored the fact that the man in the costume falsified and omitted facts in his report, which also contributed to his righteous termination. (which has many reasons for showing him the door) But your kind always neglects facts that don't fit your narrative.
