Are they losing control or is it a ploy

On one hand it looks to be exactly as most of us knew that the police and authorities are losing control over the cities ( I believe they already lost control of the cities at night anyway) why is yet another warning for those of you still living in the burbs.

Alternativlly and just as equally bad this can be viewed as the establishment trying to manipulate the sheeple into thinking society is getting worse and even more repressive laws are needed.
