In this case, I transpose my hatred of idiots who disobey court orders, and I lose all sense of sympathy for the guy who got his door beaten down by the SWAT team. Fact is, the judge said to bring the kid in, and he didn't bring the kid in. Nor did he file any appeal or request for injunction. He just acted like the law didn't apply to him! For that, I say he DESERVED to have his door kicked in, his kid taken away from him, and his butt kicked!
Now thats just total crap. The PROBLEM here that you are clearly missing is WHY did a judge have to even get involved in the first place? If the paramedics truly thought the kid needed urgent medical care, they should have gotten an officer to help with the situation and treated the kid. What, in this country I can sign myself out of a hospital and totally refuse medical treatment, but I don't have the power to make the same decision for MY OWN CHILD? The government is going to step in and FORCE me to OBEY?
Lets not even touch on the fact that CPS, while it used to be a good thing, and still is in some cases, has gotten WAY TOO MUCH CONTROL over people's lives, and very, very, often goes way over the top in ruining innocent people that don't cooperate with them. After all, what judge, law officer, or anyone else for that matter is going to question them or call them to task when they will say "Well we just had the child's best interests in mind, don't you?"
And the police were just following orders sure, but the orders they got weren't really all that far from the orders certain police got and followed blindly during a certain war now are they?
C'mon, kicking in citizens doors in the middle of the night, HOLDING CHILDREN AT GUNPOINT, and forcefully dragging a child away, and terrifying him and his whole family? What about the health and well being of these other young children, who are no doubt now terrified of the police? And you say your GLAD, and they DESERVED IT!? WTF!? You further the belief that they did this out of spite just because he so dared to defy his almighty goverment.
I hope he wins the largest lawsuit ever recorded in this century. And maybe the unchecked power of some of these agencies will get put under a microscope.
