Always avoid making irrelevant comments like the plague. They are a sure sign you are flailing and don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

Any business owner needs to ask himself why he is located in a jurisdiction that chooses to not enforce the law. And that is exactly why large, 'liberal' cities are recognized as shitholes to avoid.
> > ~ Jerry asked what a cop should do if he encountered a black looter during the Buffalo snowstorm and he or she resisted arrest. Martial law was not declared during the Buffalo snowstorm (and it would have been ridiculous if it was), therefore your comment about martial law was irrelevant (and simultaneously ridiculous). Your failure to understand the concept of irrelevance is not consistent with your self-declared high IQ.

> I did not say anything about "police policy." I summarized the constitutional law of the United States with respect to the use of lethal force by law enforcement. Do you understand that the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States and that it far outranks "police policy?" It appears you do not.

~ You jumped in like the comical fool you are and said the answer I provided to Jerry's question, which was well established constitutional law with respect to lethal force by law enforcement, showed "there's zero chance that your IQ is not lower than that of anyone else who posts here." Martial law was not part of the fact scenario behind Jerry's question, therefore it is irrelevant to his question. The fact that you STILL can't see that is a reflection of your low IQ.
Here's the synopsis of the conversation:

Jerry: But what if the looter is black and refuses to be arrested? What should the cop do?
Blabbermouth: .. he or she should just let the suspect escape.
Me: Every criminal in town is going to be back the next night for their free TV. Jesus, what a stupid shit.
Blabbermouth: I simply restated US law.
Me: Which wouldn't apply once martial law is declared.
It's so sad for you that looting and martial law can be mentioned in the same conversation, isn't it? LOL.

~ I have a Juris Doctor from a common law jurisdiction and I have been studying Canadian and US comparative law for over 30 years. The fact that you think you know more about common law than I do is entirely consistent with your delusion that you have a high IQ. That said, having a JD doesn't mean I know everything. So show me and this group the common law decision(s) that support your contention that "municipal authorities" have the authority to declare martial law. I am confident in saying no such common law exists. While you are at it, show me the legal authorities you rely upon to believe a citizen's constitutional rights are suspended during martial law, beyond what is expressly provided for in the Constitution of the United States.
Martial law has been declared numerous times in the U.S.A. Was it all done illegally? You are quite dense. That ulimately derives from the common law dating back to ninth century England:
'The posse comitatus (from the Latin for "power of the county/community/guard"), frequently shortened to posse, is in common law a group of people mobilized by the conservator of peace β typically a reeve, sheriff, chief, or another special/regional designee like an officer of the peace potentially accompanied by or with the direction of a justice or ajudged parajudicial process given imminence of actual damage β to suppress lawlessness, defend the people, or otherwise protect the place, property, and public welfare..'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_comitatus
In dual sovereignty America, if a local authority's ability to provide the governance and security listed above is inadequate a request is made to the state's governor to declare martial law and employ the National Guard to enforce it and that power is not constrained by the Posse Comitatus Act.
The simple fact of the matter is that you do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about which is par for the course.
I could, BTW, inform you of the interesting manner in which National Guard troops are pre-positioned to carry out such operations but why bother trying too educate someone as miserably immune to learning and so compulsively committed to shouting it from a rooftop as you?
