This also happened in Fort Worth about three months ago.

Funny how Austin moved quicker against a homeowner with long grass than they did against the "autonomous zone"!

article title sounds nothing like the OP summary:

Perhaps they should have sent a social-worker?
In this particular case, I'm actually being serious. It sounds like it may have been someone with verifiable mental issues .

Hasn't this already happened before?

I'm just glad he didn't hurt anyone although I scraped up my shin climbing fences to get eyes-on and containment with my plate carrier and rifle (in addition to the regular 25lbs of gear I have to lug all day)...

Genuinely don't want LEO hurt, but over a lawn? Gotta say that there needs to be different tactics on a person's own property. Guess we'll never know why he didn't want it cut, eh? Wasn't worth escalating into killing the guy.

Yup.
We should start rioting already…I need a new TV

The APD can't answer 911 calls but can muster plenty of officers to do Lawn Mowing Enforcement.
Congratulations APD you guys are as weird as the idiots you work for. Call 311 for LME
