Loved the picture posts, nothing Marshall Dillon couldn't fix. But I must point out that using the Police is not Martial law, using the Military is Martial law. It must be declared because the military is not allowed normaly to operate against citizens in this country by a law known as Posse Comitas, I believe..... Anyone?

I'm not saying you're wrong. But if martial law is declared, the police still continue to function as police officers. Their powers are somewhat enhanced though. I just couldn't find a good military picture at the time.
