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.
