I don't think it's a case of test running martial law. There are crazy people with guns around. People are in danger. Some days ago two cops had commited suicide and two hundred had just walked off the job. Whether or not I advocate drug legalization is not relavent. Keeping ordinary people as safe as possible under the circumstances is.
