But with that said, I considered myself then and now as the primary protector for my family. What happened to Policeman instead of Law Enforcement Person? I know it is hard doing verbal de-escalation but arresting a mother for doing what is natural? With the heightened tensions in this Nation concerning Government Enforcers and the people, you come to my home and without even talking with me and just want to snatch my child? What about the community's feelings toward L.E. now? All deference to EElis and others on this board, but the fight could be on. I didn't spend 21 years in the Military because I enjoyed it, it was for my Family first and foremost. I know I would lose the fight, be arrested or worse, but that is my makeup. I am not Mr. Brave, but my family is my family and others are strangers and possible dangers to my family unit. But, bring me in on what is going on, give me that chance to protect my family, through Lawyers, Pastors or whatnot and all will consider themselves winners. Or don't, everyone's choice...We can continue to make it an us against them, when in reality we usually have the same goals.

So cops legally come, because at that point the Mother was already aware and believed the officers were correct in having a warrant, to arrest your child for a major felony and because they don't show you a paper that they are not required to and wouldn't have on them under any normal circumstances and you say that "the fight would be on?" That is natural to you? Look I don't know maybe the cop over reacted and could of dealt with the Mother better but why in the heck would I assume the cop was in the wrong and if you think fighting the cops is so natural then why would you assume she stood there and in no way obstructed the police and just asked for a warrant? How do you know how long the cop may have spent trying to talk this lady down? You decided how you wanted the story to go the populated it with assumptions and strawmen.
