If I was Dr. Dao, I would have been pissed as hell. But I also would have gotten off the plane. Because this HAS happened to me before - previous flight was cancelled, then got on standby on the next flight, there was a no show, so I was sitting in my seat for at least 5 minutes before the no show showed up and they made me get off the plane.

The Dr. refused a lawful (if highly fucking annoying) request, and then when they tried to force ably remove him, he started screaming. He was not "beaten" or "physically attacked".

> Dao was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries including a broken nose, loss of two front teeth, sinus injuries and "a significant concussion"

What phrasing would you prefer be used instead to describe the sustaining of said injuries?

>"physically attacked".

So I guess his injuries were self-inflicted? How does one sustain injuries if not physcially attacked? If someone places their hands on another, that's assault which according to dictionaries means physical attack.

A "lawful [...] request" can be denied. Otherwise it's not a request.

The request was not lawful according to the rules. You shouldn’t have gotten off. Once you are in the seat you have a right to stay there, according to the department of transportation. You got taken advantage of.
