Make the Police uphold the law according to the oath. Without fear or favour.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

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.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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: https://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.
