  1. Armored police vehicle
  2. The police fired 20 shots or so at one person who could have been subdued with one or two shots to the leg

All of this could have been avoided if the city inspector just hired a contractor to cut the grass and billed the person for the cost plus fines.

I'm so glad I moved out of the US.
