I thought there was no such thing as shooting to disable if the target is carrying a firearm? Too risky.
I stand to be corrected as I only gleamed that knowledge from some TV show or other.

Semantics min. Striking is perhaps not the right word or is it ? What they polis did was protest and refused to do the job they signed up for and handed back their authorisation to carry weapons. So it was a protest and a strike is a protest.
Edit..Strike a refusal to work organized by a body of employees as a form of protest, typically in an attempt to gain a concession or concessions from their employer.
They would have refused to carry a firearm which is not compulsory for police in the UK unlike say the USA. They would have still been available to be deployed for routine incidents not requiring a firearms officer. No doubt if every police officer was armed you’d have complaints about that too.
Bottom line a high court judge ruled they acted correctly but what does he know compared to you.
Maybe you can tell us you law qualifications so we can decide who has the better grasp of what constitutes a murder
