Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
there's still that soros duck out there trying to destroy the US.

He's not trying to destroy anything. He's a rich guy and just like the Koch brothers, he buys politicians, because the US has allowed him to do that and it gives a great return on investment. And just like other rich people, destroying the country like that would hurt his profits a lot, so he'd never want that.

Black lives matter is a response to police all over the country shooting and killing (mainly) black people for no reason. Then those police officers go unpunished. The black people concluded that their lives apparently don't matter to the people in power, and they are understandably unhappy about that. So they protest. They have been more peaceful than most groups would have been given the reason for their protest; I'm amazed at how little violence they have used. It's exactly how they should protest, of course. But right wing propaganda outlets like Fox "news" don't care: they want to discredit black people, so they'll just pretend that they're really violent all the time, and that they're telling people to go kill the police. Who cares about facts if you work at Fox?

Oh, and I haven't heard before that Soros has anything to do with BLM, nor do I see why he would care.

if the riots [...] will be enough to spark it.
There aren't many riots; if one or two would lead to the state of emergency, that would be just in the region where the riots are, not the entire country. I think with "martial law" you mean a nationwide state of emergency for a long time. That wouldn't happen unless the problems would be everywhere, and there is a serious risk of a civil war.

I think the main thing that could trigger it at the moment would be Hillary declining in health to the point where she's forced to pull out of the presidential race.
If she would drop out of the race, the party must decide who they put on the ballot instead. While it seems obvious to everyone that that must be Bernie Sanders, the party appears to disagree, and wile choose someone like Joe Biden or Time Kaine. If they do that, I agree that a revolution might be the result. But I don't think Hillary will give up as long as she is alive, and I'm pretty sure she will be until the election. So I don't think you need to worry that that would lead to the state of emergency.

However I think there'd be a full-on civil war if such a thing were to happen.
I don't think so, but if it would, that would indeed be a reason to call a national state of emergency.
