S.W.A.T. Team Seizes Boy From Home

As America continues to lose its moral compass, are we beginning to see the emergence of unusual behavior on the part of law enforcement agencies? A WorldNetDaily report about an incident near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, may shed light on that question.

It's alleged that nearly a dozen members of a Colorado Police S.W.A.T. Team punched a hole in the front door and invaded a family's home with guns drawn. They demanded that the family's 11 year old son, who had hurt his head in an accidental fall, accompany them to the hospital. This was on the order of the Garfield County Magistrate. The invasion was allegedly instigated by a paramedic who was upset with the family because they wanted to care for the boy themselves.

Vic Eliason took comments from listeners, and he also provided phone numbers of Colorado officials and legislators that could be contacted regarding this incident.
