I can't believe they dragged off a legitimate paying passenger. Just incredible.
Someone made a very poor decision on this one. I would assume they lost their job.

What kind of business model promotes the brutalizing of paying passengers/customers who are behaving peacefully, in the service of maximizing profits? We are headed down a frightening path.
