The guidelines state they can deny people boarding the plane if overbooked, not that they can forcefully remove you after you've boarded because they overbooked.  This is entirely on the airline. 

This should have been settled well before they let passengers board the plane. 

 

Don't think you are following here. United being wrong or not is not why the dude got hurt... Not at all and nobody is even arguing with that.

United is wrong, so is the police there. They had no right to ask him to leave his seat. Once you are boarded, they cannot remove you from the flight unless you are a safety risk and he was not. 

This is going to cost United and that police force a lot of money because they are going to get sued off their asses. 

You are not required to comply with jack shit if you haven't done anything wrong.
