I disagree. Most people are still very happy if unruly, drunk and/or violent passengers are removed. The only reason why the UA was (rightfully) so criticised by customers (me included) is that a passenger was removed after he had boarded and because UA wanted their seat back. The whole thing was then worsened by cops essentially beating the passenger up.
In the majority of cases, the other passengers will be very happy if a passenger is removed or restraint in his seat.
