Rejected petition An inquiry should be held about the riots

More details

After the legal proceedings against the rioters and looters are concluded, there should be an inquiry as to why so many people decided to take to the streets, and why police action was not effective.
This should not excuse the actions of the rioters, but the government should admit something is wrong when so many people take this sort of criminal action in their own communities.
