UNITED AIRLINES AND THE CURRENT POLICE STATE OF AMERIKKKA

MESSAGE SENT TO PASSENGERS OF UNITIED FLIGHT #3411-

WHERE THEY BEAT UP PASSENGER DR. DAO.

Update on United Flight 3411 to Louisville: 4/11/17

Thank you to all of the friends and friends of friends who shared my video of Dr. Dao before he was forcibly removed from our flight. For getting the word out that this passenger was no more "irate or belligerent" than any weary passenger after a long day of travel would be. He just wanted to go home, had to work the next day and did not feel it was right to have to give up his seat, a seat he was already sitting in upon the plane. The airline was not able to get him home until after 2 pm Monday afternoon. He was irritated as any passenger would be, questioning why he was chosen and explaining that he was a doctor and had patients to see in the morning. I was not concerned for my safety, nor that of my toddler's or for my pregnancy until the police were called aboard our plane to remove him. I was worried about what a physical altercation would entail with us sitting directly behind him and if the officers were armed in a tiny, confined space.

The media is now performing a character assassination in attempts to excuse the airline's treatment of this individual, a human being and child of God. It is disappointing and disgusting to me that our society is so depraved that big business and organizations have no care for individual rights and treat people this way. My heart breaks for this man and his family who have now been literally drug off a plane, and are now being drug through the mud. All of this for sticking to principal and wanting to sleep in one's own bed as the remaining non-volunteering passengers on the flight had wanted.

Last night while putting our son to bed, a United Airlines representative called to offer apologies and a full refund of our tickets. This is a small gesture for the horror that everyone experienced on that plane and what the world is experiencing now at this injustice. I hope and pray for policy change, for better rights as a consumer, for lack of fear of racial profiling and discrimination by authorities, for no more instances of police brutality or brutality against the police, for an end to terrorism stateside and abroad, for a safer more compassionate world for my children. The more the videos of the flight play, the more my heart breaks for Dr. Dao and our community as a whole. Things must change. America, we can and must do better. #unitedflight3411 #louisville #changestartswithone

THIS IS A POSTING FROM MRS. CUMMINGS- THE PASSENGER SEATED DIREDTLY BEHIND DR. DAO.

CEO MUNOZ AND UNITED AIRLINES ARE BULLSHIT.
CORPORATE GREED IS THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM

THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. US CITIZENS MUST STAND UP FOR THIER BASIC RIGHTS

AMERICA WILL ACCEPT POLICE STATE MENTALITY

THE RESPECT OF TEA

TEA ALLOWS YOU TO

CONCENTRATE ON WHAT

REALLY MATTERS....

THE RESPECT OF TEA~

6 Rules for Ruthless Respect:

1. Respect is a Gift
Respect can only be given. You cannot take it.

You cannot force it.

You cannot extract it. If respect is earned,

others give it freely.

It can’t be faked or falsified. If others give respect,

it’s because it

was genuinely earned.

2. Give First, Then Get
In order to “get” this gift, you’ve got to first give it!

Rarely is respect

given to a person, if they don’t first give it to others.

It’s transparent

and can’t be faked. If you genuinely ”give”

respect to others,

you’ll be on your way to getting some in return.

3. Listen with all your senses
One surefire way of respecting others is to

genuinely listen.

Keep your mind totally blank and simply

“be there,” presently,

open to what they are really saying.

Pay attention to their words.

To their eyes. To their body language.

Don’t respond immediately.

Just listen. Pause. And consider what this

other person is really communicating.

A great book on the art and crave

of listening is Just Listen.

4. Restate to be clearRestate in your own words what the

other person said.

There’s so much room for misunderstanding

in the world today

because communication happens so quickly.

We try to take a lesson

from the slowness of tea and find that being

slower with communication,

and less snappy on the “submit button,”

that we are clearer and more

efficient in the long run. Rephrase what the other person said,

in your own words,

so they are confident you really listened and heard them.

5. Connect
Take in what the other person is saying and consider

what they really want.

They might be asking for a raise, but they might

really be asking

for more personal freedom. If you can connect to

their deeper needs and wants,

not just what they’re explicitly saying,

you’ll have a chance for a more

profound connection over implicit needs.

These are less obvious and yet

more powerful. If you can connect to the feelings,

and really see where

the other person is coming from,

they will feel heard,

and be more open to listening to you,

connecting,

and ultimately to respecting you.

6. Discuss What Matters
OK – so you’ve listened and connected and

still there’s disagreement?

That’s ok! You don’t have to always come to agreement or

harmony in order to have respect. If you’re fair,

open,

clear and you truly listened and connected –

the odds are that respect will flourish.

You don’t need to

be friends with others in order to respect them.

Liking is for friends and lovers.

Respect is for fostering

effective teams that are aligned and that

achieve huge goals.

At work, it’s ideal if we all like each other,

but, it’s just not always possible.
