Rejected petition Arm the Police

More details

How many more Police officers will die on the streets of Britain before the government listen?

Gun crime is rife in the UK. How can the Police protect the public with a small baton and some spray?

How can you fight armed criminals without being armed?

I want the government to authorise all Police Officers to carry firearms as long as they pass strict tests before hand.
