Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Increase force allowed to be used by Police on rioters or bring in military.
More details
We the people demand that the police are allowed to use more force to disperse rioters. Civil unrest has been allowed to get out of had and a softly softly approach is not appropriate.
The police should have access to other options such as tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons to keep the peace.
If the police are overwhelmed bring in the army to support them as they are also trained in peace keeping.
