SWAT showed up to my house, looking for a suicidal person, who may have had a gun. Wrong address.
Fortunately, I only had to walk out into the middle of my street in my PJs. Sadly, my biggest concern was some trigger happy lunatic would kill my new dog, imaging a hyperactive doodle puppy as a vicious cop killing hellhound.
I'm still a little fuzzy on why a health check requires a paramilitary response. Wouldn't it be safer and cheaper to have some sweet little old lady with a clip board knock on my door?
