Rejected petition Use water cannons on rioters

More details

We, the law-abiding public, demand the use of water cannons on rioters who are bent on destroying our beloved cities, ruining the livelihoods of the innocent, and who indulge in senseless criminality. We call for Theresa May to retract her statement ruling out the use of water cannons on the rioters, and empower the police to take back our streets.
