Video of Terrell Davis Being Escorted Off United Airlines Flight in Handcuffs Has Been Released by His Lawyers

TMZ - Terrell Davis' camp just released new footage of his recent run-in with law enforcement aboard a United Airlines flight ... which they believe proves several agents acted in the wrong.

The Hall of Famer's attorneys shared the video with TMZ Sports on Tuesday ... showing the Denver Broncos legend pulled off the airplane by responding officers -- including the FBI.

In the clip, passengers are heard questioning what led to the removal ... with TD's wife, Tamiko Nash, standing up and interacting with the agents before he was placed in handcuffs and escorted off the plane for questioning.

Davis' team says the brief clip backs their claim that Davis was wrongfully detained ... and made it clear they're taking the matter to court.

"This video confirms the harrowing tale of multiple law enforcement agents, including the FBI, boarding the plane and apprehending a shocked, terrified, humiliated, and compliant Mr. Davis in front of his wife, Tamiko, minor children, and more than one hundred passengers," Davis' attorney, Parker Stinar, said in a statement.

Last week, days before Crowdstrike shut down and grounded thousands of flights across the world, Denver Broncos' Hall of Fame Running Back Terrell Davis was taken off a United Airlines flight in handcuffs by an FBI agent. According to Davis, mid-flight, he lightly tapped a flight attendant on the shoulder in an effort to get his attention as he pushed his cute little drink cart down the aisle. The flight attendant whipped around, shouted "Don't hit me!", and scurried away like a Packers defender when he saw TD running downhill in the Super Bowl (swish). 

Here's Terrell Davis explaining the situation himself. 

I was excited when I first saw "Terrell Davis video" in the headlines. For a second there I thought we might actually have video of the incident in question. But of course, the footage is of nothing but his wildly underwhelming removal from the flight post-landing. Davis' lawyers believe this new footage helps prove he was wrongfully detained. I'm not sure how it does that. We still don't have a video of the actual incident. I suppose there's a world where Terrell Davis backhanded this sky waiter across the mouth and is attempting to pull the wool over our eyes. Wouldn't that be something? Or tomorrow we get a clip of Terrell Davis choke slamming some poor flight attendant to the ground and football spiking his trey of mini-Jack Daniels shots to the ground like he just scored his third TD against the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII (roasted). All because he didn't hear his request for a cup of ice.

But I'm going to go ahead and assume that's not the case, considering Terrell Davis seems like the most measured, even-keeled, "heart rate has never once rose above 60 BPM" athlete of all-time. He was on a flight with his family of small children. He fully cooperated with the FBI agent who removed him from the plane. But most importantly, I hate United Airlines. So fuck them. Everybody has that one airline who insists on messing up your specific flight every time you're forced to use them. That's United for me. There's no doubt in my mind those power hungry scumbags at United went out of their way to railroad a perfectly good man in Terrell Davis. Just for the sport of it I'm sure. Probably a bunch of jealous Packers fans if you ask me (yes the one thing I remember about Terrell Davis as a player is that he beat the Packers in a Super Bowl)

And how do we not have cameras in airplanes by now? If they do, I don't think I've ever seen footage from one. I'm not sure I've once seen video taken from an airplane that came from anywhere other than a passengers cell phone. Airplanes seem like a very obvious place to have security cameras. Without them, any time there's an incident in the sky, unless passengers are filming, it's nothing but he said-she said once the plane hits the ground. The flight attendants can just make up whatever bullshit they want about a passenger and apparently the FBI will believe them no questions asked. 

Once you airlines get your Crowdstrike bullshit figured out, maybe invest in some security cameras. We need answers in situations like this. I can't imagine why anybody would be against them. Unless of course these enormous multi-billion dollar corporations are simply too strapped for cash to possibly make such an investment. We'd hate to put United Airlines out like that.
