Do you think that the UK police should be given the freedom to use more force to protect themselves during the London (UK) riots? The police have been criticised for not taking control. The police are seen 'just pushing' criminals, rioters and thugs back while they are being attacked with any object that the rioters can utilise - bricks, metal posts, bins. All are dangerous and can cause serious injury. If you think it's time to give the police more freedom to control these rioters then complete your details and give the police the power to take back control of the streets.
