The term police state
describes a state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls
over the social, economic and political life of the population.
A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control,
and there is usually little or no distinction between the law
and the exercise of political power by the executive.
The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility,
and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views,
which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement.

...Matheny said that he had been discussing different options
to increase citizen safety downtown for years with downtown club owners,
property owners, residents and patrons of downtown establishments.
Aparently not most club owners.
...When asked how he was going to pay for all this,
Matheny said the city always seemed to be able to come up with money...
Statements by high officials are practically always misleading,
when they are designed to bolster a falling market.

...Matheny...said the curfew might have to cover the entire city,
because if it just covers the downtown then the kids
would just become an issue somewhere else...

yet one of the solutions Matheny proposed is to ban the under-18 crowd...

It doesn't appear that anyone involved in either shooting was parked in the parking garage,
yet according to Matheny the fees for parking need to be raised to $5.

There is no indication that the bouncers at the clubs acted improperly,
but there are a whole host of proposed regulations about bouncers and security."
