Rejected petition Allow the army to control streets in times of unrest
Rejected on
Like in other countries, the Army should be called up in order to assist the police in maintaining order on our streets at times of unrest. This would save businesses, homes, lives & communities and give rioting people a firm indication that it will not be tolerated.
