Nearly a dozen members of a police SWAT team in western Colorado punched a hole in the front door and invaded a family's home with guns drawn, demanding that an 11-year-old boy who had had an accidental fall accompany them to the hospital, on the order of Garfield County Magistrate Lain Leoniak. The boy's parents and siblings were thrown to the floor at gunpoint and the parents were handcuffed in the weekend assault, and the boy's father told WND it was all because a paramedic was upset the family preferred to care for their son themselves. Someone, apparently the unidentified paramedic, called police, the sheriff's office and social services, eventually providing Leoniak with a report that generated the magistrate's court order to the sheriff's office for the SWAT team assault on the family's home in a mobile home development outside of Glenwood Springs, the father, Tom Shiflett, told WND.

Let me get this straight. Parents who take care of their own kids are now subject to the same tactics used in the war on Tag Line For Rent (M, 48, NY)
You got it It sets an all-important precedent.
Looks that way...this has been going on for a very long time....hopefully enough people will get pissed off and get this to stop! I can't imagine someone coming into my home demanding my children at gun point...and this assholes expect people to just stay calm and do it! Busy body's like the paramedic should be subjected to this once in their life and they wouldn't be such nosy "do-gooBers" anymore!
Killing One Person Is Murder...Killing 100,000 is Foreign Policy!

Additional details from the WND story.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
However, the sheriff declined to provide a single instance of the father's illegal behavior. "I can't tell you specifically," he said. ping

The accident happened during horseplay, Tom Shiflett told WND. John was grabbing the door handle of a car as his sister was starting to drive away slowly. He slipped, fell to the ground and hit his head, Shiflett said.

The sheriff said the decision to use SWAT team force was justified because the father was a "self-proclaimed constitutionalist" and had made threats and "comments" over the years.
