Rejected petition Stop the use of paramiltary policemen and ban tasers

More details

I want the government to look at this issue very carefully and ban the use of tasers and also stop using police dressed in paramilitary uniforms from appearing on our streets. the police have managed for many years without any of these tactics.
There have been hundreds of deaths in USA from the use of tasers and we do not want them here.
