Officers that shot elk, pt 2

The more I think about this, the more I realize how little thought the cop that shot the animal put into it (in spite of telling people for days he wanted to shoot that specific elk). The city powers-that-be have better hearing when it comes to the concerns of the well-to-do, in any city. So, where does officer elk hunter decide to go elk hunting? -yep, Mappleton Hill, where you can't so much as buy a vacant dirt lot for under $1M. The residents of Mappleton (and Highland, the street next to it) were accustomed to seeing that elk with relative frequency lounging on their lawns. And they liked it.

So, when officer elk hunter decided to pop their lawn ornament for his taxidermy biz, they went a tad ballistic and the powers that be, thinking about future campaign contributions, weren't likely to sweep this one under the rug.

I'm not sure a different neighborhood would have changed things, but officer elk hunter picked the best street in town if he wanted to ignite a powder keg among the crowd whose voices get heard.
