Downplaying

If there is 'no risk to the public' why are the Police armed? Why is the public being asked to avoid the area. If it is gang related, if there is firearms from whatever side, then there is a risk. So long as you're downplaying things and feeding us rubbish then your response will become a little inadequate more and more as you water it down and someone's going to get a bad outcome. Enough crap. You expect the public to be honest with you, well you be honest with the public as well.
P lab gone
