Closed Compulsory Life Tariff for Murder of the Police

Closed on

Is it not wholly unjust that the murderer of an officer of the law may only spend a few years in prison?

Isn't killing someone trying to enforce the law amongst the most heinous offenses to the respect of UK law possible?

We say it is, and must be dealt with more severely to ensure the Police are protected, so that they are able to protect us properly.

Parliament needs to consider harsher tariff requirements for people convicted under this law, so we can show, as a society, our abhorrence of such crime and to disincentivise such awful actions.

Sign this petition to protect the police and yourselves.
