1 : the law applied in occupied territory by the military authority of the occupying power

The latter, by far.
Most of the law abiding people who live in these high crime areas welcome police action like this to make their living areas safer.

I think the program should be extended nationwide. Think of all the high crime areas that could benefit. I don't know why no one has thought of a nationwide 24hr curfew before. I think those that agree with this are on to something.

So do all of you side with the gun grabbers or the ACLU on this one?
At the risk of taking this off issue, exactly how would the good Col. Fielder suggest someone handle such a situation? Open the door immediately upon seeing what appears to be police uniforms and run the risk of imposters gaining access to your home? Or, refuse to answer and run the risk of the police kicking down your door and shooting you or your dogs?But there's reason to wonder if some of the uniformed enforcers wandering the streets of that unfortunate community are actually opportunists. Just last month, The Daily World, the local newspaper, warned that uniforms had been stolen during a break-in at an officer's home.
“Unless you know who the person is it is a good idea to find out who’s outside before opening your door to just anyone,” said Col. Fred Fielder of the Helena-West Helena Police Department.
Mia culpa!Harvster is jerking your chain.

This is not good logic.Live as a law abiding individual in that 10 block corridor or just outside it and then you can comment.
Good point! Freaking media.And why is it that if the cops carry fully-auto M16s , they're called military-style weapons but if a civilian carries a semi-automatic AR-15 it's called an assault rifle?!?
I am sure they will allow you on your way if your papers are in order.How is anyone supposed to go to work or the store if, indeed, the 10-block area is under 24 hour curfew??
