There were many requests for crackdowns here on FR.

Yes, crackdowns by regular law enforcement. Not martial law.
Mostly for the police to do their jobs and arrest the criminals who were looting and destroying businesses, assaulting people and setting buildings on fire. They were breaking the law.

Martial law was not declared in the U.S.
