Your prior post was ripping the police, not United. My first post in this thread stated United should have upped the offer (in fact, they should be required to by law), but that's irrelevant since cops don't have the option to pay people to comply; either you do as they ask or they are forced to use physical force on you.
And my grandmother would be 112, but at no age would she have acted that way in such a circumstance.
