1) Who's deciding that that, you? I mean based on the contract you are attach to when buying a ticket from this airliner; they have the right to remove anyone from the flight based on their own rules. You may disagree or think this sucks and this company is trash... But their rules are their rules on their planes. And while you may start saying the Airline is lying, bullshiting, being evil and blah blah blah... At the end, it is to prove that they effectively can or cannot do that based on the contract you have to follow when you buy the ticket and I really think United has a paragraph for that kind of situation

But now, let's say that United was wrong...

2) What you are saying is basically to be an archist :)

Like ("you" being the dude): you do not like this rule or think that the rule does not exist (because it is about how dumb or unfair the rule is here, you have to realize that) therefor you choose to do not listen to authorities and do whatever the fuck I want, Including delaying not only the fly I'm on with hundred of passengers but also most likely fucking up other flight those 4 employees (crew) are need for. Sorry but I will never agree this is the right thing to do in a society.

There are just right ways to do things. Forcively resisting the authorities when they are trying to get you out of a plane... Is not one of them :)
Suing United after being de-plane and proving they were wrong, is the right way to do it.

Is it? How many times has this happened before without anyone ever batting an eye at this practice?

The security officer got suspended, seems he was in the wrong. The airline has a PR nightmare and faces an expensive lawsuit. Perhaps it will even lead to re-evaluatoing what shitty practices airlines can and can't do. That's how society works.

Yes the dude got suspended (which is normal in any case like that and when they is a investigation and does not prove any of your point).

But yes, that's how society works today, entitled peoples. You are right about that. The person decided not to comply and now all the shitstorm is coming and will most likely impact a LOT of people that were just doing their job...
