The Prime Minister threatens to fire police officers that are on strike (under the guise of "blue flu".) Considering the number of officers calling in he'd be firing 100's of officers. His advisors would tell him this is not a sensible solution as it can take up to 2 to 3 years to hire and ultimately get an officer on the street.
