That's a federal offense, you don't run onto an aircraft after being removed. Period. Point. Blank. Once the law gets involved, it is no longer United. That's Chicago O'hare Int'l Airport and Chicago PD. They told him numerous times to exit, nicely, and he didn't comply so there you have it.
Misleading at best. United demanded he leave, even though they had no authority under law or their contract of carriage, so they called the airport police. Airport security then dragged him from the plane. He managed to get back on the plane and was again removed.
The United CEO said the passenger did nothing wrong and apologized for UA's actions. The airport officers have been placed on leave for their actions.
All this has been covered at length in this thread.
