But here's the highlight, which is told in the article in a very pro-bronco tone as opposed to neutral journalism.
Davis says he is "in shock over the traumatizing events." He says he was traveling with his wife, his two sons and his daughter.
"During the beverage service, my son politely requested a cup of ice. The flight attendant either didn't hear or ignored his request and continued past our row. I calmly reached behind me and lightly tapped his arm to get his attention to again ask for a cup of ice for my son," Davis wrote in the social media post.
Davis says right after he tapped the flight attendant on the arm, the man shouted "Don't hit me" and moved to another part of the plane. Davis says the flight attendant was "incredibly rude and blatantly wrong in his accusations of me hitting him" and he didn't interact with the attendant for the rest of the flight.
Before passengers were allowed off the plane Davis says the captain asked everyone to remain seated and that's when the law enforcement officers came on the plane, handcuffed Davis and escorted him off the plane without providing a reason why.
The last sentence here is the key one. Davis knew that he had committed air terrorism, so he knew that truth, justice, and the American Way was waiting at the gate for him. [Reply]

I for one appreciate this kind of callback. Well done sir. [Reply]

I've actually met him. He seemed pretty chill to me. Even joked about me not liking the Broncos living in the metro area. I had a Chiefs hat on. [Reply]

I got accosted boarding a plane because I was carrying my carry on and my sons. I calmly said it’s my sons and pointed to my five year old. I was told to calm down. I laughed. Asked the woman if she wanted to ask my son to carry his own bag. She said you are only allowed one carryon. I just laughed and walked past her.
