Are we 100% sure passengers were kicked out for attendants that had to work the next day or was it the gate agent trying to get his or her friend home and screw a paying passenger? I don't know the answer.

About 1000+ posts on this thread is based on United partner acting "for the greater good" (sic) and those employees while off-duty at that moment were needed to operate a flight at Louisville.

Even if that is not rue, how does it change the narrative of the bigger picture

a) IDB needs to stop
b) LEO brutality need to stop
c) Victim blamingshameful mentality need to stop
