Davis said he was humiliated after being handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight. Davis wrote that the flight attendant either didn't hear or ignored his request and continued past our row. His response and the events that followed should stun all of us.
Davis wrote that the attendant shouted "don't hit me" at him. I didn't think anything of it except that the employee was absolutely wrong in accusing me of hitting him.
Davis didn't speak to the attendant for the rest of the flight and assumed the matter was over. Davis said that after the flight from Denver to Orange County, California, law enforcement boarded the plane, put him in handcuffs, and removed him from the flight. The flight attendant was removed from duty by United Airlines as a result of the incident. This is not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide. An FBI statement said agents and law enforcement partners at Orange County's John Wayne Airport responded to a report of an incident aboard a flight, and then released an individual who was cooperative. We are contacting United Airlines in regards to the events that took place.
