Correction: United Airlines story


Apparently, the Fox News link I posted earlier this week (which has since been removed by Fox News) about the United Airlines incident was incorrect in reporting:
On Monday, Chicago Police confirmed they were not involved in the incident and that the officers and security personnel seen in the now viral videos are with the Department of Aviation, a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The TRUTH is that it was done by officers of the Chicago Department of Aviation, and not a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The fact it was a local police force and not federal doesn't change my personal opinion that this was a government authority performing an illegal policing action for a corporate interest, especially because the action was legal under federal laws and has been done before. I stand by my opinion piece from yesterday.
