It wasn't oversold. The flight was boarded and ready to go and Ops advised there were crew that had to travel. They decided to take 4 pax off to accommodate them. One didn't like the compensation and refused, so they beat the sh*t out of him and dragged him off the aircraft.
It was nothing to do with an oversale but your point is taken. No problem finding a seat for paxing crew now I suspect.
