4. You're so confused. lol

Protect and Serve...they were doing exactly that. They were protecting and serving the corporate state (in this case United). Protecting their profits and serving their wishes.

You thought it referenced citizens....lol....I'm sorry, I just can't stop laughing.

Seriously - couldn't resist harassing you but you are 100% right in your conclusion !

5. All publicity is good publicity?

In the end, they let him get back on. So he got a free beating out of it.

Now all people who fly united will want a free beating.

In the video, one of the passengers was complimentary to the police for treating one of his fellow Americans that way.
