Well, the map of the place taped on the wall is a sign that they meen business. They must have been tipped off or heard through the surveillance grape vine that something was going to happen. Who knows, but I do give the camera guy/girl some mad credit for being a slueth lol. That was pretty awesome.

Just want to throw this out there, on the side of the cops/public.....
Maybe with all the news (although not msm) of the "knockout game" and similar activities they just wanted to be proactive in case a couple of urban youths decided it would be fun to terrorize what looks like a nice family event.
They seem to be somewhat clandestine. Don't have their weapon up on the parapet wall... just observing.
I'm no weapons expert but that looked serious but perhaps it fired a non-lethal round? and in that situation I really think I would be OK with a couple trained officers,with the best intentions, watching over my kids safety with a high powered rifle

but i could see the "activist" community in Keene being the reason why they have increased surveillance..the groups there tend to turn community oriented events like this into heated (but civil) protests.

All I can think of is they are nervous after the nearby Boston Marathon Massacre.
