        This is a hate crime. And also why are no news outlets publishing the victims name? If it was white or black would be reported instantly.

        That's ridiculous! This is law enforcement abuse not a hate crime. Save it for when it truly applies.

        How were they targeted? It says they were chosen at random.

        Agreed. If they weren't targets, why not tell other passengers to leave? Clearly, this passenger had an important reason to get home.

        @united If you overbook a flight, YOU should be responsible for alternative ways of providing your service, not use force.

        How is a paying customer, who had no reason to get up, wrong? The airline overbooked. It's their problem. He was in his right to stay .

        I fly all the time. Only I've never experienced an airline using police to remove paying passengers for THEIR EMPLOYEES.

        They also low balled the offer for volunteers. Starting at $400 and then $800. Why stop there instead of offering more?
