US protesters have demonstrated at Chicago O’Hare International Airport to voice their anger against the forced removal of a passenger from a United Airlines flight by police.
The protesters gathered Tuesday to show their outage at the brutal removal of an Asian American passenger from a domestic flight, accusing the company of racial discrimination.
