A lot happened between the child's fever breaking and the swat team being called. It's hard to tell from the article because they left all of that out but the swat team was not called in because they didn't go to the emergency room. If it's an emergency you don't take your kid to an ND, the ND knew that. I suppose by your logic if a 747 fell out of the sky and landed on their house it would be the government's fault somehow.

So what if alot happened? We do not have to comply with unlawful orders, just because they come from the police. I absolutely disagree, the swat style tactics that were used was because they refused to comply with unlawful orders of the police, the police were involved because they didn't take their child to the emergency room, therefore the swat tactics were used because they didn't go to the emergency room. I never insinuated that a 747 falling out of the sky would be the government's fault, so I'm not sure how you jumped to that conclusion. I was simply pointing out that the logic of your question about "what if the child dies" was totally inflammatory, and how by that line of thinking we could come to almost any outrageous conclusion we want no matter how ridiculous.
I agree that we don't have to comply with unlawful orders, but that is neither here nor there, we do have to comply with lawful orders and these people choose not to and as a result of doing so they escalated the situation to a point where a swat team was called in to make them comply with the legal orders. More bad parenting on their part.
I think was quite clear from the story that the family did not escalate the situation. They refused to comply with orders they are under no obligation to comply with. So if your doctor told you that you needed a medical procedure that you disagreed and decided not to have it done, it is ok for your doctor to call the police on you? And when the police show up at your house at 1am to ask you about you it are going to get out of your bed and go outside to talk to them? I wouldn't, I'd tell exactly what these people did, where is your warrent. What has happened to these people is totally outrageous and disgusting.

The story glosses over a lot
More than a few things happened between those two things happening. It would be saying Trayvon bought skittles and then ultimately got shot. Buying skittles was not what caused him to get shot, it was attacking someone after he did that that caused him to get shot. The place to have it out with the police, if they are actually wrong and their orders are unlawful and you want to win, is in a courtroom, not the side of the road or barricading yourself inside your house.
