Keene Police Threaten Peaceful Memorial with Pepper Spray

For no reason whatsoever, Keene police showed up in force at Central Square yesterday during a memorial for Craig Metivier and threatened the peaceful crowd with pepper spray if they did not leave the park.

They burst into the park yelling threats and holding large cans of pepper spray, telling people to leave in three seconds.

All of this after the fight had long ended and everything was relatively calm.
