here's how i think i am coming down on the issue.
the video disturbs me. it's martial law. it's not a police state, that requires a political component. the only reason for martial law is when the civilian government fail to function effectively in response to events and needs to call in militarized authorities.
that was the case here, it disturbs me that government fails and martial law is required.
but.
the fact is the mission was accomplished and the shelter in place was lifted, the authorities cleared out and let the people be and the local citizens are shown being very appreciative afterwards and obviously very free to move about.
