The administration is looking for a civil upheaval. They want it so bad they can taste it. Civil war equals martial law and suspension of the constitution. They salivate over the prospect. Let no opportunity go to waste. These people are so evil they make the Muzzies in Iraq look like boy scouts. This will not end well.

I agree that it won't end well. But I also think that those looking to use (if not drum up) civil upheaval as the rationale for imposition of martial law/suspension of the Constitution are going to be darn surprised when it doesn't go the way they planned.

I just don't see police forces going for it outside of limited geographic areas (inner cities) and for limited/temporary circumstances (like the hunt for the Boston bombers). You start moving out of the inner cities, and into the rural areas and you'll increasingly run into situations where the cops who will be expected to implement it are fishing/hunting/drinking buddies of a lot of the folks they're told to implement it against.
