SWAT team on Pflumm

I was on my way home from buying my new camera, and I wanted to take some pictures of the Veteran's park just by my house. I thought the ceremony had started because they had already set up flags by the time I went to church, and my route home was stopped by a line of cops. So, I parked about 2 blocks away. Got my camera out of its box, and went to go take pictures of old men crying, and saluting of flags etc. a GREAT opportunity for first pics. But... no one was there!
I took pictures of flag, and leaves,


and went to the kiddy park just a few feet away THEN, all of a sudden there were S.W.A.T. cops swarming all over the place! Sense I had my camera I took their picture (with a kiddy park in the background)

and then saw the whole "POLICE MOBILIZATION UNIT" (looked like a charter bus) with a whole crew of people, police, guys in camo.... dogs, Sniper riffles, wires, screens etc.
I was pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be there, but I took a few more pictures. After all, after I saw 3 guys in camo... one with a sniper riffle, another guy, and a police guy with a German Shepherd dog (*click). I called Spring, and while I was hanging up one of them what looked like a line/cable for dynamite, (but probably just a cable for a camera/monitor or somethign) asked me where I lived (probably assuming I was displaced by whatever was going on in suburbia down the road). I said I was just taking pictures when he said, "Go! Go home! This is a police operation. I don't want you to get shot!"... So, I meandered home.
I was grateful that I wasn't anywhere near danger (in my opinion), but, just in case I was, I'm also glad that I wasn't shot. I hope you enjoy the pictures :-)
