Once he did that, like it or not, they (law enforcement) were under full discretion of the law to apply necessary force to remove the threat. I’m not saying it’s pretty, but the only one who actually broke a law was the passenger. There’s a reason for these laws–it’s called 9/11.... "

She apparently lives in an alternate world, or is trying to convince us with alternate facts. Luckily we've have so many videos and eyewitness accounts that we know that Dr. Dao was sitting in his seats when he was (probably punched in the face first) dragged out, with blood already showing dripping from his mouth.

If she thinks that's the same as "escorted out," she has no credibility. And the videos filmed of him being dragged out was from the first time, not later as she wrote.

At this time, I really wonder if a lawyer for the big bully is behind the article.
It also wasn't "federal Aviation Security", the goons were employed the airport, not the feds.
