Rejected petition Send our Army to deal with the London rioters!
More details
The police force are not suitably trained to deal with the sort of large scale violent, potentially lethal behaviour that we have seen in London over the last couple of nights.
These are violent, lawless people with no regard for human life, and we need to treat them accordingly.
We have a military force which is better able to deal with these sort of people. A force which will not be intimidated by acts of violence.
In so many other countries armed forces would be on the streets with live weapons. These "kids" don't fear the police because they have limited powers, and no weapons of any substance.
Let's show these criminals, and the rest of the world, that we WILL NOT allow this sort of behaviour in our country. We WILL use every tool at our disposal to stamp out this sort of violent conduct. We WILL NOT show any sympathy to those people who put innocent people's lives at risk.
