This is wonderful! One drunk with a knife and suddenly an army of heavily-armed policemen is in play. Any parallels with America's policy in the Middle East here?

Apart from arriving on the scene, requiring help from a human, and taking all the credit, did the robot assist in any way?

I'd also like to know why gun-toting police and robot-equipped bomb disposal crew were necessary for a drunk guy who chucked a knife into a wall, but hey-ho, only in America.

The level of attention and police presence is very reminiscent of Arlo Guthrie's song "Alice's Restaurant". Similar setup, too -- a small Massachusetts town.

this is what hapens in small town america with a bored police dept. Simple traffic stop can turn into a swat action.
