Rejected petition Restore faith in punishment & law enforcement system now!

More details

Restore faith in punishment & law enforcement system now! by reviewing and swiftly reacting to riots and other crime with the use of appropriate force where required.

Other countries would not tolerate the riots & crime we have seen in recent days and would have quashed them with appropriate force like water cannons and plastic bullets within hours, provide our Police with the appropriate equipment to quash crime like this swiftly and do not send them to risk their lives armed only with a stick!.

The UK government should not be so soft of law breakers. The punishment system should be reviewed so that the penalties are "fit for the crime" there should be a swift and fitting "punishment" to deter the crime and not just a slap on the wrist softly softly approach we see today.
