@@user-ry3cg3ns2c😂😂😂 are we that soft do you know how many times a waitress has touched my shoulder and said “how may I help you sweetie”. He over reacted plain and simple
I’ve met Terrell Davis, his wife and children and I must say he’s a very respectful and kind man. My grandson played against Terrell youngest son in a flag football tournament. May God bless them and bring some type of justice for Terrell and his family.
The children said thank you when they received their drinks says volumes. So, the flight attendant didn't give a %ish and chose to be an awful human being. United should be put out of business
Well as a Black female, and a recently retired Flight Attendant with United Airlines, I am deeply sorry about this. I can definitely see this playing out, as some Flight Attendants over exaggerate during a passenger encounter. We are trained to deesculate NOT exaggerate the situation. Shame on Scott Kirby, CEO of UA for not making a statement of apology to the Davis family. I can only imagine what this family is going through right now.
Similar incident happened to me many years ago. Don't remember the airline. I (white male) tapped a FA (Asian lady) on her back shoulder (she was turned away from me) and she spun around as if I had sexually assaulted her, saying, "Don't EVER touch me!!" I couldn't believe it. I think she completed whatever my request was (probably a soft drink), but I was careful to not address her for the rest of the flight. I assumed it was a hyper-reaction to hyper-training, i.e. "interference with a flight crew" can legally be as incidental as merely touching a crew member. Is that possible? De-esculation was certainly not on this lady's mind. Fortunately, nothing else came of the incident upon landing. I had even temporarily worked for Frontier one summer as a CSA gate agent and had never heard of anything like this. How often did it "play out" during your service?
@@advicemaster1365 How about YOU paying closer attention? My post was entirely about an incident that happened to ME. And, yes, I was there for that incident. And my inquiry was to a former flight attendant as to whether and to what extent certain aspects of airline crew training could possibly contribute to the over reaction of flight attendants to passenger encounters WHICH SHE STATED SHE HAD PERSONALLY WITNESSED AS A FELLOW CREW MEMBER. Not once did I mention Terrell Davis or render a specific judgement as to what did or did not happened to him. But it is telling that, despite being taken into custody, he was not charged with or booked for any crime, AND that he has received a formal apology from the airline. Do I need to be present at the scene to form reasonable conclusions from those facts? Here's another conclusion. The specialist in "ignorant posts" just might be someone who adopts the moniker of "advicemaster."
@@LarryK-jg6iw Hi Larry, I haven't seen it play out to the extend of a passenger getting arrested. Just like any other customer service profession/job, you have some that really enjoy it, and they're very good at it. Then you have those that have a lot of bad days because they're not cut out for it. Working as a FA can be tough and very demanding at times, requiring a lot of patience and empathy for other. You've been in industry for a short time as a CSA so you get some of it, I am sure. It's different when you are on a plane with folks for hours.😃
@@1DolPhan1966 Something about him getting frustrated by perceiving his kids were mistreated and then he thought he was mistreated. There is tapping and there is thumping. I think Terrell harshly thumped him on the shoulder which made the attendant abruptly turn around. I think he assaulted him. Terrell D I call bs.
TD, one of the greatest! And he still has to endure this. I'm Native American and this has happened to many of us, thousands of times. I know exactly what he's feeling. The classiest thing about this, is no one is saying anything about race, when we all know that's EXACTLY what it was about. At least he has the money to afford a lawyer to SUE SUE SUE! Love you TD and I'm sorry this happened to you and your family. ❤
I hope he sues! This Flight Attendant has got ulterior motives, which is why he’s making a case out of this for financial gain. It’s disgusting. I was a flight attendant years ago and it’s part of the job that passengers are going to tap/touch us to get our attention.
The feds and the cops need to be disciplined! Not to mention the flight attendant needs to be held accountable for the rest of his life! This is horrific!
Awful. I’m sorry this happened to TD and his family but I’m glad he’s speaking out. TD has a stellar reputation here in CO - not only because of his outstanding performance as a Bronco, but also because of his excellent character and behavior. God Bless Them
Thank you, Terrell Davis for speaking out about this. He and his wife are helping numerous people who have experienced this and/or will continue experiencing this. I've flown dozens of times, and on a few flights, flight attendants (one in each of those few flights) have gaslighted me and intentionally ignored me (but served all other passengers) for basic things like a cup of water. These flight attendants saw an easy target in me and wanted to reflect all their insecurities, their immaturity and their yearn for power/control by intentionally ignoring me and almost wanting me to beg them for basic services which is part of their job anyway. One flight attendant was a small young white girl, another was a large but short brown older lady. It's as if they want to provoke you so that they can "accomplish" something in their day through calling the cops on you. I am a 30-something Asian male with glasses, and I look kind in the face and young and innocent, with a medium-pitched voice, and at times insecure/ignorant people like these few flight attendants have extreme unconscious/conscious bias.
@@MrDan11422they put money aside for all the other insider claims you don't hear about. Like all the bank fraud that goes unreported. It's only when blacks complain then it becomes an issue
I'm glad that Terrell is being the voice for the voiceless here if this happened to someone else they may not have been able to afford legal council and would have ended up sitting in jail until this whole matter gets cleared up. Further you could forget any public apology from United.
I’m pointing out a pattern. Not just within this airline, but across the American aviation industry. We’ve lost our spirit of competition, and passengers are leaving to do business with foreign airlines since in addition to our jets being broken, our service is plagued by unnecessary and excessive force. It’s incredibly depressing, and it’s the underlying problem that you don’t seem to bother to acknowledge.
These cops need to do a better job in investigating the situation before going rambo on people. Without getting the complete story they just went crazy on him.
The attendant was"removed from duty" what does that mean?? The person needs to be fired! A lot of these flight attendants have bad attitudes, this is not surprising.
I can see if the flight attended said " Dont touch me" but to yell out dont hit me and take off leaving the cart in the isle is over the top-trying to extra dramatic
Not sure LEO’s are responsible. They put him into cuffs, never read him his rights and within minutes let him go. That isn’t their fault. Flight attendant….thats a different story.
I think its was just an overdramatic “Beta” male flight attendant. Imagine typically what a male flight attendant might behave like, if you get the hint. I don’t think race had anything to do with it.
No he has a federal lawsuit against the officers for illegal detainment .that's what he can get the most money for,he need to sue the officers for there ignorance
Remove the FA permanently!! This should not have happened!!! If this FA cannot handle the heat of face to face customer service, then he needs to find a job with less people interaction! Heck, I just thought of a perfect one...Graveyard shift as a custodian at Disneyland!!
Thank you TD for bringing this story to light and exposing things that aren't talked about. The media seemingly ONLY limits racism discussions around police altercations with black people as if that's the only struggle faced. Thanks you TD for holding their feet to the fire.
So happy to see this story being picked up by the news media! We cannot allow corporations to use law enforcement as their lapdogs, allow their employees to swat customers and not be held accountable. The only thing that will affect change with UA is a massive lawsuit. I simply do not understand why this FA isn't sitting in jail for false reporting which caused Terrell to be treated this way.
It seems like they didn’t mirandize him or tell him why he was being arrested. HUGE lawsuit should be on the way. I hate that he and his family were put through this trauma. They need to sue the airline AND the FBI
@@njemilenantan5833 I don't think he should have been put in handcuffs but regardless of that a person doesn't have to have Miranda rights read to them just because they've been put in handcuffs.
@@Smithpolly but they Did ask him questions once they took him off of the plane. And he said that during their questioning, they started to realize that it was a ridiculous claim.
I totally agree, Gale King appears to be dubious and flaky whenever it comes to taking a stand on the right side of issues that impact African Americans. I hope she does not have to endure a direct experience haw devastating these types of experiences are!
This is so sad. Many other incidents such as this (false and brutal arrest) have no doubt occurred without publicity. As a child, my dark skinned Mexican father was taken into custody and beaten nearly to death for the same sort of non incident. I don't think he ever recovered emotionally, passing the trauma to us and especially to his sons. 🙏
I am a doctor. I had a similar incident on a plane where I had to use the toilet. However there was a big line and the flight attendants told me to sit down. Then when the line stopped, I went into the bathroom. The flight attendant told me I could not use the bathroom because the fasten seat belt sign was on. I was flying for business. I was unable to urinate my pants to satisfy the flight attendant. I entered the toilet in the plane, and then I sat down. When I exited a plane, the police were waiting. Of course I showed my doctor identification and I provided my side of the story. Long story short, nothing happened to me. However on my return flight, an Air Marshall set right next to me. I knew he was an Air Marshal. I spoke to him about what happened. He apologized to me. Bottom line, flight attendants have too much power. We need to regulate this power. You are innocent until proven guilty. Mr. Davis, Hall of Fame, NFL, please please please sue United Airlines to teach them a lesson. Please do this for me and all of us who have been stripped of our civil rights by flight attendants.
Why not go with a class action lawsuit and include us because we called in a corporate complaint on a racist flight attendant.. This flight attendant is a repeat offender.. We try not to fly United.
Oh man didn't realize that was him! I saw him get escorted off the plane but not up the gateway. From the side they took him off the plane. They covered his handcuffs with and hoodie or jacket. He didn't make a scene. His family was relaxed about it as they walked through the airport with an sherrif
@@songbirdmelody3155and so what if it wasn’t?! The fact that they arrested an innocent Black man is the point. You should always always speak up for innocent people, especially people of color!!
No one was "relaxed" about such a traumatic situation. What they all were, was calm and collected so to not give the FBI more justification for their overreaction. As an educated professional black man, he played it smart for his family in tow. And his wife did the same for their children.
I'm an adult man and I asked a female flight attendant for a cup of water a few years ago and she got so upset with me that I just sat in my seat frozen for the rest of the flight.
The word is "accept", not "except". It is ok to ask for ice if you feel your kid is ignored. Nothing wrong with that. However, the problem comes when you forcibly thump someone on the shoulder and I think that is exactly what Terrell Davis did and the attendant perceived it as assault and that is probably what it felt like. At first I thought the attendant was in the wrong but after seeing this interview I think Terrell is guilty. By the way I am Black. I guess that race card is out the window. Own your sh*t Terrell Davis and stop acting badly in front of your kids.
this is the air travel equivalent of the central park bird watcher incident where authorities actually arrived but, thankfully, no loss of life occurred which actually does happen in this country. I'm glad this fella did not act like a bird watcher after his incident.
Wow....FBI agents are being tasked to arrest/remove people from planes now??? This is embarrassing to this man and his family all the way around! And for what??? As someone mentioned, they had no idea who he was! His lawyer stated it best! There should be a HUGE lawsuit!
OH MY GOD! This poor man and his family! Infuriating. I had a sassy male flight attendant threaten to have the cops waiting at the gate for me one time because i was flying with my little dog and he was scared and crying as we were landing. He said if i didnt shut him up security would be wating for me.
Americans appear to be requesting a higher standard of their aviation industry, but all we are getting is broken planes and use of unnecessary and excessive force :(
So these police officers have nothing better to do than take time off to come on a plane and arrest someone for tapping. Crazy I find in recent times these hostess have to much of nasty attitudes. It’s like they are allowed to do what they want
The police have to address the situation once the airline instructs them of an unruly passenger on board a flight. The down side of this is the airlines have a no fly rule which they can enforce against anyone who is deemed unruly from ever letting them fly again on a commercial airline.
I was on the fence until I heard it was a male flight attendant. The airline needs to correct Tinkerbell. By the way, the passenger being a football player is not really germain to the discussion. No one should be subjected to that type of overreaction from an employee who chooses to work with the public.
Besides the impact that this has caused Mr. Davis and his family, that flight attendant just made life for ALL his colleagues A LOT HARDER. When a situation that will need LE assistance, it won't be taken seriously.
I recently had issues with United Airlines. I flew from Greece into DC, with connecting flight to Tampa in business class, as I approach the gate for zone one boarding. The attendant at the gate kept asking me if I was zone one. I showed her my boarding pass, she now covered up the scanner with hand, not letting letting me scan the bar code, then covered her mouth with her hand and asked the guy behind her if he should scan me through.
Take notes from the "Atlanta" episode regarding the same. The Danny Glover character wont let it go after an airline worker humiliates his family so cavalierly. The character methodically unravels the flight attendant's life.
@@1stone379 relax, 92Tulips wasn't defending the flight attendant and said they felt sorry for what happened. stress might definitely have been the reason that flight attendant was overreacting but that still doesn't excuse what he did
I can see if he was stressed or upset about a personal issue he may have dealt with before that moment, but to go to the lengths that he did to have FBI agents board the plane and handcuff Terrell, speaks to a deeper, inexcusable agenda.
@@tomtom8786 OP and you are acting clueless. I have dealt with a stressed out flight attendant, they may be rude to passengers...but don't falsely accuse us of assault and sick the FBI and Orange County Sheriff's office on you for trying to get their attention. His motive was racist, pure and simple.
I know a 6’7” black gentleman age 30 fell asleep before the flight took off Next thing he knew they were waking him up and telling him they were removing him from the plane!! NO IDEA WHY! The medical staff evaluated him and said nothing wrong….apparently they tried to wake him before flight take off cause he was tilted sideways sound asleep (tall black man and thought he was on drugs). He was super embarrassed and had no idea why they removed him! It was ridiculous!! Had to stay in Hawaii on his dime! They only gave him $250 in credits after review and we made complaints! If anyone has idea on what to do more please let me know! This boy has no mom or dad….he is a good person and very soft spoken But y’all and black and mistreated for sure!
Pep from Salt and Pepper was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight, she paid for two seats due to a physical injury. There is a recent video about it on RUclips.
I am really proud of the Davis family for going around and doing these interviews and raising the awareness and not only bringing their attorney with them so that they can continue to discuss the illegality of what occurred but they can also continue to raise a awareness that other people go through this and it’s not right or fair. So if this means anything to this family, you are making a difference and you are going to an act change. Thank you so much.
This type of people who have been labled as Kevins/Karens are inherently jealous of the very site of beautiful Black people living their best life, and were targeted before they even got on the plane..
Similar situation happened to me when I was standing and line at Bedbath and beyond. This lady tapped me on the shoulder a couple of times to ask me a question because she thought I worked in the store . Only because I had on a safety vest . Even the Employee laughed at her we don't dress like that.
As a minority my self, in my native country of the US of A, I have experience this under different circumstances, and I can say that a psychological imprint stayed with me, that when i think of what occurred an intence rage comes forth. First off, Thank you CBS morning, im sure that other media networks were doubtful to assist in this manner.....You came on top ! I really hope Mr Davis sues this mediocre company United Flight for handling this situation like it was the 1950's. This is straight out proof that society cant accept a human for the the color of their skin, hair, eye color, how they dress or speak.
The way that this whole family was treated so uncalled for atrocious. I can't imagine why United would have someone like that serving their passengers. United you must have some sort of training on this I can't correctly put into words how I feel about this. Was this flight attendant named Jim C. Row by chance?
The way the seats are situated, if you turn 90° you can see the row behind you with ease. And he said he reached up which means the flight attendant had to be in the next row already.
I had a problem with a car repair shop, and he called the cops, took the other guys side and threatened to arrest me, i said for what, he said " I will think of something" but he let me go after about 10 minutes, because i said I know you have that recorder on and you will have a hard time explaining this in court. I filed a complaint to internal affairs, never heard anything else..
Is it possible that the flight attendant was basically blindsided? Terrell tapped her/him and they weren’t expecting it? Or the tap was harder than Terrell intended? (He’s a football player…was it more than he intended)? I’m just playing devils advocate here and asking. If it was a normal everyday tap…flight attendants are on duty from the moment the cabin doors close. In any event, having this man arrested without listening to him for a split second…that stupid.
Even if that were the case, it seems like they were on the plane for a good while after the incident. You'd think the flight attendents would have talked about the matter and taken into account that the guy just seems to be sitting calmly in his seat. It might be overkill to march him off in handcuffs.
This attendant needs to be arrested for filing a false report!
Its called a verbal one in this case. Sounds like you haven't experienced life long enough to notice that. It happens more often than you can imagine.

Thank you TD for bringing this story to light and exposing things that aren't talked about. The media seemingly ONLY limits racism discussions around police altercations with black people as if that's the only struggle faced. Thanks you TD for holding their feet to the fire.
Get that United bag $$$$
Congratulations TD, you are about to become a proud part owner of United Airlines!
Yep, if he play his cards right.
So happy to see this story being picked up by the news media! We cannot allow corporations to use law enforcement as their lapdogs, allow their employees to swat customers and not be held accountable. The only thing that will affect change with UA is a massive lawsuit. I simply do not understand why this FA isn't sitting in jail for false reporting which caused Terrell to be treated this way.
It seems like they didn’t mirandize him or tell him why he was being arrested. HUGE lawsuit should be on the way. I hate that he and his family were put through this trauma. They need to sue the airline AND the FBI
You don''t have to mirandize someone unless you're going to ask them questions.
Then he should not have been in handcuffs.@@Smithpolly
@@njemilenantan5833 I don't think he should have been put in handcuffs but regardless of that a person doesn't have to have Miranda rights read to them just because they've been put in handcuffs.
@@Smithpolly but they Did ask him questions once they took him off of the plane. And he said that during their questioning, they started to realize that it was a ridiculous claim.
@@Blessed965 Apologies. You don't hafve mirandize someone unless you're going to ask them questions after you arrest them.
Why hasn't the flight attendant been cuffed for filing a false report?
@@wheelman1232where did you see his photo. I’m trying to look for it.
@@wheelman1232 Where is his photo ?
That's a lie nice try 😂 @@wheelman1232
I can't tell if Gail is supporting Mr Davis or United... her statements are biased 😕🙄😡
You’re supposed to NOT tell, she’s reporting the news and the term is unbiased not biased.
I totally agree, Gale King appears to be dubious and flaky whenever it comes to taking a stand on the right side of issues that impact African Americans. I hope she does not have to endure a direct experience haw devastating these types of experiences are!
I was thinking the same thing!
@@reneemcgeewhitley5418 facts
Ms King is pitiful. We're really tired of her constant dismissal of people with similar issues
This is so sad.
Many other incidents such as this (false and brutal arrest) have no doubt occurred without publicity.
As a child, my dark skinned Mexican father was taken into custody and beaten nearly to death for the same sort of non incident.
I don't think he ever recovered emotionally, passing the trauma to us and especially to his sons.
🙏
Sorry to hear that
@@carliene9389 ❤️
🙏🏾
Please sue for $10 million
Disgusting that his young children had to see this.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I hope he sues the hell out of the airline.
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post
What is it with United Airlines! This is not the first time I’m hearing incidents with them!
Flying While Black is the new discrimination.
what color was the guy who complained? i bet you anything he was black.
Damn!
It isn't new
@@acc4465 I will take that bet, you'll be wrong. Racist much? notice how few black flight attendants there are?
@@MrFlingtoe I'll bet you it is both.
I am a doctor. I had a similar incident on a plane where I had to use the toilet. However there was a big line and the flight attendants told me to sit down. Then when the line stopped, I went into the bathroom. The flight attendant told me I could not use the bathroom because the fasten seat belt sign was on. I was flying for business. I was unable to urinate my pants to satisfy the flight attendant. I entered the toilet in the plane, and then I sat down. When I exited a plane, the police were waiting. Of course I showed my doctor identification and I provided my side of the story. Long story short, nothing happened to me. However on my return flight, an Air Marshall set right next to me. I knew he was an Air Marshal. I spoke to him about what happened. He apologized to me. Bottom line, flight attendants have too much power. We need to regulate this power. You are innocent until proven guilty. Mr. Davis, Hall of Fame, NFL, please please please sue United Airlines to teach them a lesson. Please do this for me and all of us who have been stripped of our civil rights by flight attendants.
United Airlines and law enforcement beat up a doctor for refusing to give up the seat he had paid for. Remember that one?
Why not go with a class action lawsuit and include us because we called in a corporate complaint on a racist flight attendant.. This flight attendant is a repeat offender.. We try not to fly United.
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post.
@@advicemaster1365 ignorant is the person who resorts to insults.
Thank you so much for telling your story. It’s absolutely outrageous! I hope the NFL never uses United Airlines again.
Was the Flight Attendant tested to see if he was “ Hungover “ ?
Oh man didn't realize that was him! I saw him get escorted off the plane but not up the gateway. From the side they took him off the plane. They covered his handcuffs with and hoodie or jacket. He didn't make a scene. His family was relaxed about it as they walked through the airport with an sherrif
Wow
@@songbirdmelody3155and so what if it wasn’t?! The fact that they arrested an innocent Black man is the point. You should always always speak up for innocent people, especially people of color!!
No one was "relaxed" about such a traumatic situation. What they all were, was calm and collected so to not give the FBI more justification for their overreaction. As an educated professional black man, he played it smart for his family in tow. And his wife did the same for their children.
I'm an adult man and I asked a female flight attendant for a cup of water a few years ago and she got so upset with me that I just sat in my seat frozen for the rest of the flight.
I hope you didn’t drink that water. 😮
Wow!!! I'm so sorry. It's alarming.
These flight attendants are given so much power and feel they can treat us any kind of way. I'm sorry
@@user-ry3cg3ns2c Terrell is lying. Sue Terrell for assault.
The word is "accept", not "except". It is ok to ask for ice if you feel your kid is ignored. Nothing wrong with that. However, the problem comes when you forcibly thump someone on the shoulder and I think that is exactly what Terrell Davis did and the attendant perceived it as assault and that is probably what it felt like. At first I thought the attendant was in the wrong but after seeing this interview I think Terrell is guilty. By the way I am Black. I guess that race card is out the window. Own your sh*t Terrell Davis and stop acting badly in front of your kids.
Tim Scott just said Monday "America is not a racist country '
Tim Scott? Really?
I guess Timmy isn't upset that Donny didn't select him as his running mate.
Who is Tim Scott? Oh the dude who thought he was going to be Monster’s VP, got it!
this is the air travel equivalent of the central park bird watcher incident where authorities actually arrived but, thankfully, no loss of life occurred which actually does happen in this country. I'm glad this fella did not act like a bird watcher after his incident.
Yeah this is ridiculous and I agree Terrell, he should speak up and hold United accountable as well as the Flight Attendant. Such a damn shame.
Terrell is putting a face on the issue due to having Pro Football he is recognized by people in all 50 states.
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post
Wow....FBI agents are being tasked to arrest/remove people from planes now??? This is embarrassing to this man and his family all the way around! And for what??? As someone mentioned, they had no idea who he was!
His lawyer stated it best! There should be a HUGE lawsuit!
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post.(FYI. ALL lawyers yearn for a HUGE lawsuit, that's why they become lawyers.)
OH MY GOD! This poor man and his family! Infuriating. I had a sassy male flight attendant threaten to have the cops waiting at the gate for me one time because i was flying with my little dog and he was scared and crying as we were landing. He said if i didnt shut him up security would be wating for me.
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post
The GOP said american isn't a racist country
It isn’t; to them.

Because most of them are yt. The others are uncle toms
Feeling powerless is exactly what they want us all to feel
Flying becoming a nightmare
What a contrast between Gayle's interview and Robin's.
There needs to be cameras on these plans and he needs to sue United Airlines & that flight attendant
I loathe how Gayle constantly cuts people of before finishing their statement in her interviews!!!
Unfortunately you cannot touch people these days period, everyone is hypersensitive these days!
Americans appear to be requesting a higher standard of their aviation industry, but all we are getting is broken planes and use of unnecessary and excessive force :(
So these police officers have nothing better to do than take time off to come on a plane and arrest someone for tapping. Crazy I find in recent times these hostess have to much of nasty attitudes. It’s like they are allowed to do what they want
The police have to address the situation once the airline instructs them of an unruly passenger on board a flight. The down side of this is the airlines have a no fly rule which they can enforce against anyone who is deemed unruly from ever letting them fly again on a commercial airline.
Jealous of how BEAUTIFUL he is .
Never flying United again
I wish I didn't already have prepaid tickets with United! This is disgusting!
I was on the fence until I heard it was a male flight attendant. The airline needs to correct Tinkerbell. By the way, the passenger being a football player is not really germain to the discussion. No one should be subjected to that type of overreaction from an employee who chooses to work with the public.
Yt people always looking for excuses for their bad behavior...Thomas Matthew Crooks was bullied.
100% right. Tinker bell
@@Charles-n8pnow all a sudden all male flight attendants are GAY? Is that what you are saying?
Tinkerbell? So you are saying all male attendants are GAY? If so , what is wrong with you!
Lol spot on
Gail overtalked the attorney! Let the lawyer finish speaking. Did he say the other people "were" handcuffed or "weren't" handcuffed. Damn!
That’s one reason why this election is so important!
So, you were there and saw what happened? Ignorant post
@@advicemaster1365Ok, MAGAt.😂
The flight attendant should be charged with lying! Bring charges on him
Besides the impact that this has caused Mr. Davis and his family, that flight attendant just made life for ALL his colleagues A LOT HARDER. When a situation that will need LE assistance, it won't be taken seriously.
Oh Hell No give this man free flights for life
oooh this is gonna get expensive for United
I recently had issues with United Airlines. I flew from Greece into DC, with connecting flight to Tampa in business class, as I approach the gate for zone one boarding. The attendant at the gate kept asking me if I was zone one. I showed her my boarding pass, she now covered up the scanner with hand, not letting letting me scan the bar code, then covered her mouth with her hand and asked the guy behind her if he should scan me through.
Sue, sue, sue…
Take notes from the "Atlanta" episode regarding the same. The Danny Glover character wont let it go after an airline worker humiliates his family so cavalierly. The character methodically unravels the flight attendant's life.
SUE , SUE & SUE!!!!!!
Sounds like that attendant was stressed out and he needs therapy, sorry this happened and hope your family will recover from this horrific incident. 🙏
Stressed??? Try again
@@1stone379 relax, 92Tulips wasn't defending the flight attendant and said they felt sorry for what happened. stress might definitely have been the reason that flight attendant was overreacting but that still doesn't excuse what he did
I can see if he was stressed or upset about a personal issue he may have dealt with before that moment, but to go to the lengths that he did to have FBI agents board the plane and handcuff Terrell, speaks to a deeper, inexcusable agenda.
@@tomtom8786 OP and you are acting clueless. I have dealt with a stressed out flight attendant, they may be rude to passengers...but don't falsely accuse us of assault and sick the FBI and Orange County Sheriff's office on you for trying to get their attention. His motive was racist, pure and simple.
@@TedJamesLytle790 Exxxactly
I know a 6’7” black gentleman age 30 fell asleep before the flight took off
Next thing he knew they were waking him up and telling him they were removing him from the plane!! NO IDEA WHY! The medical staff evaluated him and said nothing wrong….apparently they tried to wake him before flight take off cause he was tilted sideways sound asleep (tall black man and thought he was on drugs). He was super embarrassed and had no idea why they removed him! It was ridiculous!! Had to stay in Hawaii on his dime! They only gave him $250 in credits after review and we made complaints! If anyone has idea on what to do more please let me know! This boy has no mom or dad….he is a good person and very soft spoken
But y’all and black and mistreated for sure!
Pep from Salt and Pepper was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight, she paid for two seats due to a physical injury. There is a recent video about it on RUclips.
Major violation. Easy proof. She will win the lawsuit. There is no common sense these days.
I am really proud of the Davis family for going around and doing these interviews and raising the awareness and not only bringing their attorney with them so that they can continue to discuss the illegality of what occurred but they can also continue to raise a awareness that other people go through this and it’s not right or fair. So if this means anything to this family, you are making a difference and you are going to an act change. Thank you so much.
Lawyer is stiff as a stone.
This type of people who have been labled as Kevins/Karens are inherently jealous of the very site of beautiful Black people living their best life, and were targeted before they even got on the plane..
Where’s the video?! I’m sure someone in this modern age has a video!
I understood what happened when he said "the male flight attendant" was tapped on the shoulder.
Similar situation happened to me when I was standing and line at Bedbath and beyond. This lady tapped me on the shoulder a couple of times to ask me a question because she thought I worked in the store . Only because I had on a safety vest . Even the Employee laughed at her we don't dress like that.
Not the same ! He got arrested Infront of his family .
As a minority my self, in my native country of the US of A, I have experience this under different circumstances, and I can say that a psychological imprint stayed with me, that when i think of what occurred an intence rage comes forth.
First off, Thank you CBS morning, im sure that other media networks were doubtful to assist in this manner.....You came on top !
I really hope Mr Davis sues this mediocre company United Flight for handling this situation like it was the 1950's. This is straight out proof that society cant accept a human for the the color of their skin, hair, eye color, how they dress or speak.
this so bonkers Terrell is an upstanding guy. Wow
The way that this whole family was treated so uncalled for atrocious. I can't imagine why United would have someone like that serving their passengers. United you must have some sort of training on this I can't correctly put into words how I feel about this.
Was this flight attendant named Jim C. Row by chance?
How can the other passenger in front of you see that you didn't hit someone who is behind them??
The way the seats are situated, if you turn 90° you can see the row behind you with ease. And he said he reached up which means the flight attendant had to be in the next row already.
I had a problem with a car repair shop, and he called the cops, took the other guys side and threatened to arrest me, i said for what, he said " I will think of something" but he let me go after about 10 minutes, because i said I know you have that recorder on and you will have a hard time explaining this in court. I filed a complaint to internal affairs, never heard anything else..
Is it possible that the flight attendant was basically blindsided? Terrell tapped her/him and they weren’t expecting it? Or the tap was harder than Terrell intended? (He’s a football player…was it more than he intended)? I’m just playing devils advocate here and asking. If it was a normal everyday tap…flight attendants are on duty from the moment the cabin doors close. In any event, having this man arrested without listening to him for a split second…that stupid.
Tried to destroy him. Not today. LOL😂😂😂😂
Even if that were the case, it seems like they were on the plane for a good while after the incident. You'd think the flight attendents would have talked about the matter and taken into account that the guy just seems to be sitting calmly in his seat. It might be overkill to march him off in handcuffs.
You try to protect your children and this happens..we are headed back to the 60s!😢
Sad. Im sorry went through this
I am so sorry. My love to you and your children. The worst.
I would sue if I was wrongly arrested by a disgruntled flight attendant.
You have to sue the police department. But the bottom line is under no circumstances in any situation , can you tap touch anybody
Terrell Davis used to block for Elway. He did not hit the dude. That flight attendant was racist.
What?!?!😱
