1. What is the difference between "Martial Law" and torturing innocent people without trial [-1]?
None, as already pointed out. Although I'm guessing your question was a rhetorical question and didn't require an answer...
Literally, Martial law means you can be shot for breaking the orders of the designated enforcers.
Sorry, wrong. Literally martial law means military law. Get a dictionary. And of course, all state law is martial law when you devote a couple of minutes to think the issue trough.
It represents "ad hoc, brutalist law"
in common usage.
Thank you.
You mean something like the 2014 Ferguson unrest https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_Ferguson_unrest&oldid=644092498 where "police established curfews and deployed riot squads to maintain order."?
curfew == вечерен час?
