But did they mow the grass?

/s

Just normal lawn complaints stuff.

How else could you resolve a dispute about lawn care? Now excuse me. My neighbor's flower bed is looking a little unkempt…

While I'm usually the first to say "Fuck the Police", this one looks like just a sad situation all around, but was probably ultimately justified.

Code enforcement guy came to the house to ask about the lawn, and resident pointed gun at code enforcement guy and told him he couldn't leave. Code dude calls the police because he has a gun pointed at him and can't flee. Police show up in armored vehicle because someone is threatening to shoot a government employee, get shot at, and return fire.

Did the guy deserve to die because he was having a mental health breakdown? No. But sometimes it isn't about what is deserved. Guy was threatening someone with a gun, wouldn't let them leave, then started shooting at people. Police can't let that continue.
