Tl;dr AA Gold Pax freaks out that AA didn't bend over backwards for him, goes on Reddit and claims they had him escorted out of the airport by police.

I've had AA call the cops on me twice, once when I argued with a GA who failed to follow policy on giving standby's seats on the flight after a mech cancellation, and again when I argued with a check-in agent who took >45 minutes to check my family and I in, and we missed the cutoff as a result. Both times, the officer rolled his eyes, listened, asked me to move my bags 5 feet, and then walked away.
AA threw me a $300 voucher for each incident, but the email noted voucher was for the standby and check-in mess-ups, not for calling the cops. Small sample size, but seems AA corporate tolerates and maybe even condones using the police to adjudicate customer service disputes.
