Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said “Never let a crisis go to waste”, something that the government of New York City seems to have taken to heart.
As the biggest snow storm this year advances towards America’s largest population center, the authorities have basically declared martial law. Citing the massive storm as too big a threat to disregard, the New York Police Department is threatening to arrest anyone who travels on the road in the coming days.
Calling the radical measure a “travel ban”, the NYPD say it is meant to protect New Yorkers from the potentially devastating weather. Drivers do not even need to be committing a crime to be arrested: they simply need to be on the road for law enforcement to apprehend them.

Anyone who would enforce this is also to blame. Just doing our job went out of style with the nazis.
Now we know! De Blasio is Obama’s puppet! And a whoosey!!!
They do that in Colorado too,it’s stupid and no where near martial law. They let me go cause I have big tires and chains lol
This is total c**p! I’ve seen the actual news report several times, and they were asking for people to please stay off the roads unless it’s an emergency so plows could get through and they didn’t need cars out there getting stuck. They also asked people to help neighbors to dig out if they could help them, and not to shovel snow into the street or storm drains to keep them from being blocked. People were snowboarding and having fun, and even the cops couldn’t get mad, they thought it was funny. Dangerous at times, but funny. Nowhere did they mention martial law! I’ve lived in places where snow stacks up by feet very easily, and not once was martial law ever considered. TRUTH AND ACTION needs to start working on the truth part more.
^^^^^^ Finally someone else who’s not blind!!!!!!
New York has had much worse snow storms …it is the whimps running the city that a the scared babies
No Martial Lae at all. Cars were ordered off the street. Happened during the Blizzard of 78 in New England. Quit fear mongering!
Really??? The police are going to shoot citizens?? Really?!?!?!
