This skips one critical fact that invalidates the entire premise of the post.

The lockdown had little to do with public safety and everything to do with a manhunt. The city was shut down to prevent the suspect from getting out, not to protect people.

Did they say that when asking people to stay home or did they tell people they would be safer at home?

I think public safety was part of it. It pretty much eliminated the easy targets. There weren't any crowded places to plant a bomb.

How does this invalidate the premise of the post?
