Rejected petition Arm our police & ensure they are free from prosecution if required to use weapon

In light of the terrorist attack in London it is apparent that to protect the public and themselves then our police should be armed. Given potential to be prosecuted if they discharge a weapon then some may be reluctant to carry arms. Give them exemption from prosecution when used to preserve life.
