Rejected petition Police public order powers

More details

Our police forces are having to deal with these riots and public order offences with one arm tied behind their back! They are behind the times when it comes to crowd control and mass disorder capabilities compared to other countries and should be given power and equipment to end these riots swiftly and efficiently.
