I got to thinking about this whole deal and wondering at what point the
whole cabin full of passengers will just get to where they pretty much
all start to riot and raise hell over this sort of thing, or sitting on
the tarmac for hours (and I know that has caused some near-riots in the
past) and then the problem of the airlines stuffing the cabins and
reducing seat pitch then treating passengers like this guy.

There were no obvious crippling injuries but the humiliation has to me
worth at least a mil. What if it happened to you?

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. After watching the video of it
a couple of times, I was not convinced that the security folks were that
rough on him. That, and the story about how he appeared back on the plane
later mumbling about how he had to get home. I am guessing that the
security folks let him go once they were off the plane and that he appeared
to them to be ok at that point but he slipped back onto the plane to act
out some more grief for the witnesses.

OK team, here's my favorite theory about this:
I have read that our Dr. Dao played poker for pocket money after he lost
his med license. Apparently he was pretty good, winning a second place in
one tournament and earning over $100K. All told he made more than $200K
from his skills. So here's what I think may have happened.
He wants to keep his seat, and declines a few times to leave even when
threatened. When he sees he is likely to be removed by force, he takes a
look at the hand he was just dealt, and decides to go all in. As the cop
grabs him roughly, he purposely bangs his face against the armrest, then
feigns unconsciousness. The rest of the scene plays out perfectly.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
