“She’s hacking on a tree with a dagger? Is that a lethal weapon? “
Sometimes I hack at a tree with a chainsaw, a much more lethal weapon. It is not illegal to do so and as long as I am on my own property and not threatening anyone the police have no right to shoot at me.
Yeah, you were there on site.
Using a chain saw on a tree makes sense as the right tool for a job, and it’s highly unlikely that the police would be summoned for that except maybe on a noise complaint.
Would you shut off your saw and put it down if an officer asked you do so?
Yes, of course you would, as the sane, law-abiding citizen that I assume you are.
So, why do you think the police were called over this incident?
