What absolute nonsense. He seems to have presented no danger to the safe conduct of the flight prior to being assaulted by uniformed (only just - since when are jeans standard issue to the police?) "security"
Munoz's explanation that he was belligerant is self serving crap. Who would not get a little upset at being chucked off a flight while sitting peacefully in their assigned seat, on the feeble grounds that the airline had amade a total balls up on the load, and needed seats to relocate their own staff.
