Rejected petition Legalize the use of taser guns by the police all across the UK

More details

After the recent riots, the police need to restore order and control. Their powers need to be extended and I think this can be done by the use of tasers. They are harmless, however very intimidating and this is the sort of thing the police need to concentrate on. I'm not saying give the police extended powers to shoot whoever they like, but i do believe just the presence of these guns would cut crime.
