Restoring order after a natural disaster is perfectly fine in my eyes. God knows the police can't handle this shit on their own. Gangs have them outgunned. A show of force goes a long way to instill order during times of fear and panic such as after a Hurricane. People can do crazy shit during chaos hence the need for order. Looting would be the least of problems. [/quote] This ^^^ [/quote]
Original Message
After hurricane sandy, Martial Law was silently imposed on the city of long beach. There is a 7PM curfew, anyone outside after was threatened with being arrested.
Many had gone out to bring supplies such as food, water, gas, clothing... but were turned away by state troopers. a 5 mile long line awaited people returning, during a gas crisis, the last thing you want to do is make residents of a hard hit community waste there gas trying to get back home
