Assuming you mean like for rational citizens, I'd say an event like a large meteor strike, at a magnitude that would be a global concern. There are likely other scenarios I may think of and add.But what would it take to excuse its use?
Unrest on the order of the springtime riots in Baltimore, but across the country. A rending of the social construct on a massive scale.But what would it take to excuse its use?

I believe the problem is a list thought to be valid prior to especially the Bush/Obama years would have to be gone through and many reasons deleted due to too high and strong potential of abuse by politicians. While Obama ran against things like the Patriot Act, he's shown he's Bush on steroids with regards to civil rights and other important issues.

I know how to get around 40% of Americans out of their arm chairs- take away their food stamps, section 8 housing and earned income credit welfare subsidies. As far as normal, productive Americans, that's a tough one. We've become far too docile.And what could take such a hold on so many people so as to rise up out of their arm chairs?
That would depend on who's doin' the excusin' of course. If it were the people it would take something catastrophic as Thinker said. If it were a despot hell bent on fundamentally transforming the country to his liking while he still has time it wouldn't take much. In that case an excuse could quite easily be orchestrated.But what would it take to excuse its use?
Outside force invasion on some large scale with serious downside potential for the whole country. Good addition.That's what I mean, what would it take on a social, in country, level not from any outside force? I've been thinking about that for here in Europe too - the plans are always there, there are plans for every contingency.
Yup, here too ---I know how to get around 40% of Americans out of their arm chairs- take away their food stamps, section 8 housing and earned income credit welfare subsidies. As far as normal, productive Americans, that's a tough one. We've become far too docile.

Since we already have so much of that in play, I guess it could be most any time now.The election of Donald Trump?
The same things that always have caused such great unrest.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Failure to deal with our goals in any realistic manner. Lack of justice, failure to maintain domestic tranquility, loss of the general welfare and losses of liberty, which is dancing with the lack of justice.
Tremendous inequality, not of outcome, but of choice and of possibility.
Our courts hand down absurd rulings, we suffer from obesity and diabetes and other health issues, folks are being gunned down in cold blood on both sides, authority and anti-authority, and the fabric of our society is raveling. But our society seems to have always lived on the edge, often threatening to leap into the abyss...as it unravels into separate strands of fabric instead of the beautiful, but chaotic, quilt the last 250 years have brought us.

The other thing which seems to be 'in the agenda' apart from 'lone mad men' 'black vs white' is that society is being turned against the Police Force, rightly or wrongly, which only leaves the Army.Since we already have so much of that in play, I guess it could be most any time now.
You seem to be all over the place on this one. The reality is that it won't necessarily be because of something that does happen. It could just as well be because of something they tell us is happening or has happened. A great deal of groundwork has already been laid and it's been going on for a long time.Assuming you mean like for rational citizens, I'd say an event like a large meteor strike, at a magnitude that would be a global concern.
