Why is Martial Law bad?

I would star you if I could but there is only ~ symbol where the star would be.

Correct - We the people have been under martial law since the civil war.
The police use military rank for a reason - They are the nearest standing army (which was one of the sparks to the revolutionary war along with ethe redcoats could murder an american and the kangaroo british courts would let them go with a slap on the wrist...just like cops today) poised against the citizens.
The average citizen has been considered an enemy of the US since WWI and the trading with the enemies act.
The police have become more militarized than ever - Have you seen the gear and weapons the police, DHS, and 50+ percent of the alphabet agencies hidden away just waiting for the correct 'event'

What if the 'wrong' thing you are doing is not making enough of a profit for the US Government machine?
What if you won't be satsfied with working 12 hours and the only pay you get is the chance to stand in a martial law run chow line before you go back to your tent because you have been evacuated (for your own safety of course) from your house and possessions.

What type of life would it be if we were herded around like cattle, or SHEEP? Really, it's bad enough today without martial law.
