Rejected petition water cannon to tackle riots

More details

Rioting in destroying our cities and communities.

Theresa May's comments stating "The way we police in Britain is not through use of water cannon," "The way we police in Britain is through consent of communities."

This is not working. The communities want the rioting to stop but the rioters are not listening.

The use of water cannons will stop the burning down houses and local facilities.
