It's no good allowing any incitement to take place and then taking action long after the event. If immediate action had taken place, then maybe there might be case for saying that media pressure wasn't responsible for the arrests but as the arrests, that did take place, happened a very long time(relatively) afterwards, there can't.

Well, seeing as (going by your logic) violence hadn't broken out, then they could hardly be accused of inciting it then.
