Of the four employees, two were fired, one was suspended for two days and the other resigned after being suspended. Inspector General Joseph Ferguson said the April 9 incident started out as a “non-threatening situation” but escalated after CDA employees got involved. The second suspended officer, who has resigned, “made material omissions” when reporting on the actions of the officer who violated the CDA’s use-of-force policy and was fired. Dao, who was among those randomly selected, refused to give up his seat, leading airline staff to call CDA officers to remove him from the plane. The officers violently pulled Dao from his seat and dragged him unconscious down the aisle.
