Rejected petition Should the Army be used in all illegal riots?

More details

The Army should be brought in and used on the streets as soon as a riot is classified as illegal looting and damage to public and business property.

A curfew could also be placed in that designated area (by the police chief)

This would not only help the Policing of the riots but help reduce damage to property and businesses.

When classified as an ILLEGAL RIOT the Army then treats the situation as a war zone like anyother
invasion of terror.
