I said nothing about whether or not it was a good approach, just that it is the approach.
They were pressured into it, I think. Media pushing for something to be done, Police not wanting their toes trodden on, "phase 2" being a much bigger/longer scope/task with significant legal implications. etc. etc.
Insofar as this scope was concerned "what happened on the night", their comments may have been harsh and unwelcome, but were any of them wrong?
