Gov. Chris Sununu announced Wednesday that his outdoor inauguration ceremony scheduled for next week is being canceled because of concerns over armed protesters.

"My first responsibility is ensuring the safety of my family and our citizens," Gov. Chris Sununu said. "For weeks, armed protesters have increasingly become more aggressive, targeting my family, protesting outside my private residence and trespassing on my property — an outdoor public ceremony simply brings too much risk. We do not make this decision lightly, but it is the right thing to do."

Given my protest activism in past years, it shocks me that the State Police hasn't been dispatched. State Police that I've encountered are not your rank and file police enforcement types. They're heavy duty, paramilitary outfits that are there to protect "The State".

Do they only exist in California?

but the way the govt has acted over the past 4 years, who knows what "should be" these days. Everything is so messed up in law enforcement now.
