I think the implementation of a martial law system in cities with high crime rates (like New Orleans) could prove to be beneficial in long term city safety.

Give the SWAT team and other police forces full control for enforcement. That means let them use lethal force whenever necessary. Make them wear body cameras in order to monitor their actions.

Let law enforcement use military grade equipment. I think every police in a major city should have an automatic weapon and some form of bullet resistant vest. (I'm not sure if this is already done, but it should be)

Violent crime should result in the execution of the offender no questions asked. This should be done regardless of race and/or religious affiliation. I am not saying to kill for any reason, but I think should be dealt with more harshly in bad neighbourhoods (like a war zone)

I understand that using military force can be seen as overkill. However, I personally would not mind if military forces were used. We need to trust our police and if that means that a lot of people have to die then so be it.

Citizen crimes would cease, but the state itself would become the criminal.

Guess op has never heard of the term escalation of force.

Police start carrying RPGs and using tanks and criminals will start robbing people with military grad weapons and laying ied's in public roadways

Just do it in a surprise, "burst" fashion - declare martial law for 72 hours - go in and serve all those high risk warrants, strictly enforce a curfew and take all those sons a bitches who violate it to jail. The neighborhood will be more safe afterwards - then resume normal policing.

Now - it will make it feel like Nazi Germany for a weekend, but without all the genocide and expansionism - and it may get the trend line down - I'm thinking places like New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit - places that (while having a lot to offer a portion of their population, no doubt) have significant sections that are like hell on earth for the poor black folks stuck there and victimized.

If we had martial law, more people would be at home on their computers in forums seeking career advice one week after finally landing an Engineering job. God knows we don't need that.

The tourism industry in New Orleans would drop to zero and the city's economy would be devastated. Awful idea.

Honestly I think the OP is a hybrid combination of the worst parts of both the left and the right, re: crime/law enforcement.

There would be an initial high amount of gunfire exchanges between criminals and police. After quite a few people were killed, it would get very quiet.

I don't think you will ever see martial law in an American city, but yeah, the south side of Chicago should be locked down tight.

We could just try strictly enforcing the laws on the books and not have the cops scared to do shite because of race baiting assholes.

And take half the money you would want to spend on your military force and put it into mental health/drug rehab/job training kind of places.
