Tougher sentences on anyone that attacks our emergency services staff

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Please look at the sentences we hand out to these animals that think it’s fine to attack our emergency services staff, a fine isn’t good enough, suspended sentences are pointless

Tougher sentences need to be out in place to protect our everyday hero’s

We need more to happen in relation to our emergency services staff being attacked! I believe it will take an unfortunate attack that will take one if there lives before anything is even considered! We need to react now

Imagine if it was someone you knew or someone in your family

Tougher sentences now!!!!

True story - officer gets sucker punched and a shattered Jaw in 3 places - offender 12 months suspended with £100 surcharge? Not good enough and this just shows that you can get away with it!!
