I'm not contradicting myself at all; you are just making assumption here about what United can or cannot do (I'm doing it as well) and there is no such rule for someone to do whatever they want and just ignore the company rules in that case.
You are talking like you know 100% sure that United does not have anything in their contract allowing them to de-planed someone after boarding, where did you get that? Also, on top of it you also assume the airport authorities know less than you about that? Because if they actually went for it, it is most likely because they knew they were in their right.
And again, the dude did not want to complain. You can call this his right, but then getting hurt in the process is just an accident. Because at the end, other than letting the dude do whatever his wanted and basically follows his own rules) the only end to this was for him to get out of the plane.

1. The same is true for United Airlines employees and airport security...
2. From their contract of carriage posted on their website https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/contract-of-carriage.aspx
There's nothing obvious there, maybe they've got something hidden in the fine print though. Or maybe they'll even claim they had to refuse the guy transport because the plane being overbooked was "an act of god". Would that hold up in court though? Because that's what really matters. Even if they said "we're allowed to beat people up and throw them off the plane whenever we feel like it" it wouldn't matter because there is no chance something like that would hold up in court.

Well, he just replied to me that it doesn't really matter if it's against the rules, so I don't think you're going to get anywhere with him.
