Wow. This police state is out of control.

"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."

So being a "constitutionalist" is a crime now?

"Shiflett was "rude and confrontational" when the paramedics arrived and entered his home without his permission."

Uhh... ya think? I would be rude and confrontational if someone entered MY home without permission. They are lucky this guy didn't have a gun, they had no right to enter his home.
