1) they had to send a SWAT team? - no need to rehash the militarization of the police part, but at least per the articles, the guy had been pulled over for speeding, he wasn't hiding, he wasn't using an alias, the state just messed up.
2) the kids are true victims of the state here, the older ones especially will never forget the swat team taking their dad.
3) hard to say what ought to happen, but seems like the governor could/should commute the sentence.
