Rejected petition Protect our police and give a mandatory 6 month sentence for assault on them.

I want the government to give all people who assault the police a mandatory prison sentence.

More details

Assault on police is rising and the respect is dwindling. Officers sometimes have to deal with dangerous situations on there own. In many situations its lucky that offenders dont step over the line and assault them because more would get hurt and injured as they are often seriously out numbered.
