Rejected petition Introduce Mandatory While Life Orders for Those Who Kill Emergency Workers
With attacks on Emergency Workers rising in both number and severity (resulting in many serious injuries and the death of a PC) we believe it is time to introduce the harshest possible punishments.
Murder of an Emergency Worker = Mandatory Whole Life Order.
Attempted Murder = Mandatory Life.
More details
Those who seek to seriously harm and kill those who dedicate themselves to protecting us, show such a disdain for our society and it’s rules that society should no longer have to worry about them being returned to the community in future.
Emergency Workers should be safe in the knowledge that those who kill their colleagues will never be released. It is time to protect society and it’s protectors from the greatest of evils, for there is no other word to describe those who kill our guardians.
