Rejected petition Arm the police for our protection against terrorists after Paris attacks

For the second time this year we have seen terrorist attacks very close to home. We know we are on the list to be hit, its only a matter of time. We need our police force on the streets armed to deal with the threat as and when it happens and to deter the terrorists to start with.

More details

We need protection for us and our families and you are the only ones that can provide that to a certain degree. The issue is if people are afraid on our streets they will start using methods to defend themselves which mean more knifes and guns on the streets. We would all feel much safer if the police were out in force armed to deal with anything issues that may arise.
