Rejected petition Ban Police Containment ("Kettling") At Demonstrations & Protests

More details

Containing peaceful protesters during a protest is no way to demonstrate democracy. On December 9th 2010 over 300 children and teenagers were held on Westminster Bridge for almost four hours until 1am in freezing cold temperatures. It's nothing more than false imprisonment. This barbaric police "tactic" needs to be banned.
