MILWAUKEE, WI The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that it is not a violation of constitutional rights if police break down a citizens door, search the home, and confiscate firearms, so long that they believe it is in the citizens best interest. A Doctors Concern
The lawsuit stems back to an incident that occurred on May 22, 2011. A psychiatrist, Dr. Michelle Bentle, phoned police to report that a patient had expressed a suicidal thought during an outpatient appointment; the woman had received some bad news and privately expressed grief during a difficult appointment.
At approximately noon, Milwaukee Police were dispatched to search for Krysta Sutterfield, age 42 at the time, in order to forcibly detain her and commit her for a mandatory medical evaluation. In Wisconsin, the mere suggestion of suicide is grounds for forcible police detention.
Sutterfield told Police State USA that the alleged threat that was perceived by her doctor, put out by police, and then quoted by the media was sensationalist and false. She recalled: I never said anything like Im going to harm myself.

I had to make visits to the blood clinic, last year, and each time they asked me the same question (even though I live alone)... Do you feel unsafe in your home ?
They wouldn't ask it unless they were FORCED to do so.
You are correct. And we sit back and take it.
The whole Constitution has been repealed. It's been 'in process' for a long time.
You weren't told because the ruling elite don't want public outrage until they have complete control of the military, and enough bullets to kill every AMERICAN ten times.
