Rejected petition Bring in the army and use force against rioters when needed
More details
Rioters are tearing apart businesses owned by hard working people employing many local people.
The Police cannot cover all areas at the same time and rioters are laughing in their faces.
We demand that the the army are brought in to support the Police and that the softly softly approach is abandoned in favour of direct and immediate force.
Theresa May said that policing is managed with the consent of the people and they don't want water cannon or the army.... We disagree, we DO want them and we want them now.
