since when does a civil process require fully deployed SWAT team?
Although it is for sure a civil action, a strong show of force is believed to deter violence, not cause it. The police went there to take a man who was reported to them to be very disturbed and armed into custody.
Handcuffs? Entering a private residence witnout a warrant or other due process? Seizing personal property and depriving its legal owner his right of possession?
It hasn't been established or even stated on what grounds they entered his residence, and handcuffs are standard procedure when taking someone into custody. That's for his protection and the police's protection.
It will be interesting to learn of the source(s) of the information leading to the "very disgruntled" "status" of this man, and the basis for the source making the claims they did.
It's already well reported that it was ODOT which first expressed the concern.
