Watch this clip. It includes a mayor who sees no problem with the fact that he has implemented a continous curfew on citizens, no matter their age and no matter what time it is. He, in fact, states that it is "akin to martial law." What happens if you're a regular old citizen who just happens to live in a bad neighborhood? It looks like you can't leave the inside of your home, even on your own property. What happens if you do? In the mayors own words: "Zero tolerance, they're going to jail."

So the police can't do their jobs, and citizens are now under virtual house arrest, their liberties stripped, because of it. Thumbs up, America. Way to go! What an inventive way to fight crime! But do you honestly feel safer now?
