I would imagine it was a form of restraining him.

  Have you seen the video? It isn't clear to me if he's unconscious or just limp.

    One article claimed that a stun gun was used, hence the need to drag him out. Edit: it was a tweet quoted by Vanity Fair, http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/04/united-airlines-passenger-dragged-off-flight http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/04/united-airlines-passe...

      They also smashed his face against the arm rest. That seems like it may have been a contributing factor.

        Y'all somehow missed the article saying he was carried out on a stretcher AFTER he went onto the plane a SECOND time.

  I'm extremely skeptical. They had a stretcher to hand but no handcuffs?
