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.

He got hurt because the police unnecessarily used force to remove the man from the plane when they had no business being on there to remove him in the first place. As I said, whoever they were going to randomly deny entry on the plane should have been done before they scanned his ticket and sat in his assigned seat.
