Orders of magnitude between the aggressive removal of protestors vs. outright martial law.
Maybe but these men were unemployed, hungry and only wanted what was promised to them. Their bonus. Instead they got charged with 6 tanks, bayonets, gassed and their shacks burned.
Think what it will be when there is no food on the shelves and high unemployment all across the nation, not just in DC. The race riots will look like a walk in the park.
