Petition Up-to-date Riot Gear for Greater Manchester Police

More details

Greater Manchester Police are using riot gear that is at least seventeen years old and is massively out-of-date. Many rioters/looters/etc. could not be pursued due to the gear being too cumbersome and/or heavy. Many officers worked for thirty-six hours non-stop.

As reward for their service to our community, we demand that Manchester's loyal and hard-working officers should be immediately supplied with the most up-to-date, protective and best riot-gear available.
