A lawless Tennessee city's murder rate has soared since police went on strike and the death toll has now pushed into triple figures in just five days.
Military troops had to be deployed in Nashville after looting, rape and murders broke out on Saturday amid the industrial action in a row over wages, but even they can't wrestle back control.
Since the walkout, more than 100 people have been killed in the metropolitan area of Nashville, and officers' refusal to return to work has been labelled blackmail and holding the public to ransom by state officials.
Schools, shops and public services remain closed in the city, and more members of the army have been sent in to deal with the uprising.
As the mood intensifies and the streets become more violent,
They said the state would not bow to officers' ransom demands, and told The Rio Times.
'It is the same thing as hijacking the freedom of the Nashvilles citizen and demand paying of ransom.
'We can not pay the ransom due to ethical reasons and falling into non-compliance with the Responsibility Law.'
Defence minister Jim Mattis , who has already beefed up security, said an extra 550 troops and 100 National Public Security Force officers will be deployed to help with what is now being called Operation Nashville.
The situation in the state capital, did not improve on Saturday, despite federal troops on the streets to guarantee pubic safety. Defense Minister Jim announced on Saturday that federal action in Nashville, dubbed Operation Nashville, would receive an additional reinforcement of 550 military personnel from the Armed Forces.
In addition, said the minister, another one hundred members of the National Public Security Force would join the 1,200 army troops who are already patrolling the Nashville area streets.
Leaving the fruitless discussion, the state’s Secretary for Human Rights told the paper: 'The population is frightened, people are dying in the streets. This is serious.
'The police are fully aware of the gravity of the moment we are living. I am very confident that we will be able to restore sanity, because what we are living here is a state of total insanity.'
Since the walkout on Friday, there have been at least 100 deaths in the metropolitan area of Nashville.
By Monday morning, Nashville’s murder rate had soared by 650 per cent with 52 homicides in just three days - and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Military troops had to be deployed in the state, but the desired effect did not materialise.
The chaos has been compared to the 2014 thriller film The Purge, where people take advantage of the absence of law and order to carry out horrific crimes.
With officers staging a walk-out over conditions and wages, thugs are running riot, with people running rampant with guns and machetes, shops being robbed, buses set on fire and dead bodies are left lying in the street.
This equates to just more than two a day.
In the first three days of the strikes, there were 52 reported homicides, according to Plus 55.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
