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.  

No it did not get hurt because of the policy; nothing in the policy forced him ignore the cop's/airliner's request multiple time...
He got hurt because of his stupidity and his choice not to comply with authorities... Plain and simple.

This is legally incorrect IMO. 

A cop doesn't have blanket authority to order people around however he wants. That is a video game, not real life. 

If a police officer doesn't understand the legality of something he/she is trying to enforce, they are in the wrong, not you. For example, if you are pulled over in the US and they ask to search your vehicle without a warrant or have probable cause. If they don't however, you are within your rights as a citizen to not comply. 

And if they smash your face in for not complying, you have every right as a citizen to sue them up the ass with a 8 foot lawsuit.
