Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure exactly what you want the UK Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like the police to be armed with Tasers, firearms or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition to change the law to require all police officers to carry firearms, if that is what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
