With Martial Law declared they can legally act but red stained flood waters will be bad for the news images.

I learned earlier today that only congress can declare martial law. Not sure if that's a fact, but if so, those guys haven't yet returned from their vacation yet.
I did see that several Army bases had been put on standby, maybe this is in anticipation of martial law being declared.
