Or he was thinking that he hadn't done anything wrong and wasn't a safety risk. Surely these rent-a-goons can't be so dense as to drag him from the plane over a simple business dispute.

Only the rent-a-goons were that dense.

If you want to truly understand what happened, watch the reactions of the other passengers. They were there. They experienced what happened before. They were outraged. Compare that to other videos of passengers being removed from planes. In those cases the other passengers are cheering, clapping, or otherwise indicating their support of LEO. Not screaming 'Oh My God! What are you doing?'.

The other passengers were there, they indicated their support of the good doctor. That's the telling evidence here.
