Martial law is intended to control situations that are completely out of control, like city wide riots. it wont happen the mayor was simply stating all options, not stating it would happen and even so Paterson would have to declare it not the mayor, the only news channel i found that even covered it was capital news 9, the thing is the situation isnt THAT bad and more than likely the state police will be called in and the city will be holding a 3.5 million dollar bill to pay for the man hours. but the mayor was stating all options available to him and martial law is always an option but not one that anyone ever wants to implement. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/do-you-live-in-schenectady-you-could-be-under-martial-law-soon/242957)._
