The line is simple, when asked to de-plane... De-plane... You comply to any request esp. when issued by authorities... If you want to complain you do it AFTER.
So what do you think the police should do when someone refuses to move? They just let him in, right? Fuck the authorities because the dude feels like this is what's right for him? Can you see how this is a very dangerous point of view? 

It was an accident and he resisted and got hurt. They did not throw him on the harmrest. It is 100% his fault.

That's avoiding the question.
I'm talking about where the line is drawn for how he is to be removed. Would you be ok with them getting a chainsaw and cutting off his limbs?

Probably not. Your argument is not acknowledging that just because they are within their legal rights to claim his seat doesn't mean that any means are allowed. There's a line to be drawn for how a human beaing should be treated in this situation.
People think these cops crossed the line. That's what they're upset about.

The accident did not only occur because he resisted. It also occured because of how those cops decided to handle it. And yes they did throw him on it.
They're trained to handle people resisting. They know this happens. But this should not be the outcome when it's about a plane seat.

If 3 cops can't get one elderly man off a plane without bashing his skull in, they need to switch carreers and be replaced with people who can.
These three were incompetent.

No, I'm sorry but there is no line to be drawn there; the line stops when the person is 1) not comploying with authorities (wrongly or not) and then resisting, simple as that. There are only one way to remove him from the plane; pull him and drag him...

And again they did not bash his skull, HE did but actively resisting and then hurting himself... 

You ignored it but my analogy (somewhat extrem) with a dude pulling a gun on a cop and then being shot is the same... That during physically resisted and got hurt in the process... 100% his fault, the line is way before then when he decided to act like a complete idiot and resist cops...
