Make the Police uphold the law according to the oath. Without fear or favour.
We, the law abiding citizens of the UK ask that our elected Government make the Police accountable to uphold the law according to the oath they take. Without fear or favour, not make decisions based on who they are confronting or not to upset certain sections of society.
It is every person's right to expect equal treatment under the law.
This last weekend we have seen protestors commit wanton acts of criminal behavior, while the police have stood back or joined in with the protestors by kneeling down and practically becoming subservient.
Officers have in the past joined in with the gay pride celebrations.
Does the Government really believe that such behavior earns respect for our police force among ordinary citizens?
Stop recruiting people from Universities.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Police officers are already required under the Standards of Professional Behaviour to treat everyone equally under the law. Misconduct proceedings take place under these standards. You can read the Standards here: www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2008/2864/schedule/made.
You could start a petition calling for the Standards of Professional Behaviour to be changed in a specified way if that is something you'd like to happen.
