Rejected petition Get the army home to protect our own streets

More details

Seeing the rioting and looting on television, it has become apparent that the Police are ineffectual. The looters are not scared of them. To them it is a game of trying to outwit the Police. We already pay for an establishment that could control the situation, but the vast majority are not even in this Country.
Bring them home and let them control the streets. Once under control, give the Police better equipment to control future outbreaks (eg Water Canon, Rubber bullets and tear gas).
