American Militarists

The Set Up:
In my own version of a future America, it is mentioned that Martial Law was declared due to social unrest (the result of problems like mass aging, illegal immigration, failing economies, etc.), crime and corruption. But thus far I have not done an RP in this setting. So I've decided to have a military/crime RP set in the underbelly of America's cities.
You can choose to be a policeman (of any kind), military officer, a criminal, an ordinary person or an elite Minute Man Corps soldier (a blue uniformed elite group of Military Police with riot gear). Simply create a character, drop them in LA circa 2034, and go from there. There's no set plot line, I'm just seeing if people would enjoy one of my RPGs for once.
A few basic rules:
1. No elves, vampires, gods, etc. There will be only normal humans, no genetic augmentations or cybernetic implants.
2. No futuristic weaponry. Keep it simple and plausible (i.e. no plasma rifles). Use rifles, pistols etc. for criminals, military gear for government soldiers/police and whatever small arms you can think of for normal people.
3. No futuristic gear, like vests that stop a .308, etc. Again, make sure it's plausible.
4. No Action heroes. This is like real life, not Rambo.
With that said, have fun!
