Keene, NH – a college town of 25K – now has a Bearcat (Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck).
Despite much community opposition, the so-claimed “authorities” brought to town a militaristic vehicle. On an early, rainy Saturday morning (2012.12.08) it was unveiled.
Keene Copblockers were on the scene.

Background
Can the acquisition of an armored vehicle by a group of folks who claim to have a “legitimate” right to initiate force a good thing?
Perhaps the key question to ask yourself – is the trend seen here in Keene and elsewhere, toward a more paramilitary police – conducive to the type of community in which you want to live?
We all want to live in a safe, prosperous, dynamic society. Perhaps the current top-down monopoly isn’t the best means.

Feudalism, serfdom, slavery, all tyrannical institutions are merely the most vigorous kind to rule, springing out of, and necessary to, a bad state of man. The progress from these is the same in all cases—less government.
—Herbert Spencer
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
