Cool Lawn and Order OPD: MN Cops Mow Yard for Struggling Resident

https://www.foxnews.com/us/minnesota...-welfare-check

Quote:
A Minnesota police officer is showing that one of the varieties of ways officers assist those they serve is by grabbing a lawnmower.

The Orono Police Department posted a photo on social media Thursday showing Officer Matt Siltala confronting knee-high weeds with a push mower at a home where he had just conducted a welfare check on the owner, a woman living alone.

“She was ok and Matt asked her why her yard is so unkempt,” police said. “She said she doesn't have anyone to mow for her. He grabbed her mower and cut the front yard. Very cool.”

More than a few; the news typically only reports the bad ones, unfortunately.

Problem is that a push mower just knocks over tall grass/weeds....won't cut shit, need run it over a dozen times, and still not good.....
