Rejected petition Police funding should not decrease

More details

Police funding is being cut by 20% over four years. The PM anticipates that frontline services will not be affected however police chiefs report in reality this will equate to a loss of around 16,000 frontline posts.
Given the events of the last few days, tensions that escalated to violence through recent demonstrations, and large high profile events like the Olympics, could we debate the impact and implications of not reducing police funding until after the next general election.
