Closed Give police more power and respect! make them use water cannon in situations like the London riots!

Closed on

The law should give the police the power and respect to defend the streets of the Uk.

Like seen in the london riots police should be given grading to use certain tactics in certain situations.

If water cannons were used early on this would of no doubt stopped the london riots.

The UK law enforcers should not be stopped from reminding the public that only police and the army may carry guns!

If people choice to carry guns and break the law they should face the consequences.
