Default Glider Pilot arrested for airspace

Eric,
It is where the woman at the FBO is talking about the cop gone mad. To quote from the article:

"Griffin said she had to tell the officers on the scene to clear out the runway, and one officer talked about commandeering the airport. “He was running around, the one guy that was commandeering everything, saying, ‘We were going to shoot him down,’” she said."

The cop saying "We are going to shoot him down" sounds an awful lot like the plan to use deadly force to me. Right below the last picture in the article on the AOPA website.

I saw that, but it did not involve DHS, as I think you suggested, but
only one local cop.
