  No, because United employees didn’t beat the passenger up, the police did. That’s not even remotely close to the worst thing that cops have gotten away with.

    i thought that wasn’t actually police

    Following a review prompted by the incident, in July 2017 the Chicago Department of Aviation reported that its unsworn, unarmed airport security personnel were not actually police officers under Illinois law. Their uniforms, badges and vehicles had been “improperly” labeled “police” for historical reasons. It promised that the incorrect insignia would be removed within months.
