I hope they were shocked but it never stopped them from filling the book ( where Police officer make sure they are all telling the same story..note the word story)
These notebooks would have been referred to when giving evidence. This evidence was accepted as the truth when we now know it was a pack of lies.

We now know that lives, many of them young, were lost on 15 April 1989, because of an unsafe football ground and the negligence of senior officers, camouflaged by the subsequent perjury of dozens of police and emergency services staff. It beggars belief that blood samples were taken from the victims, one as young as 10, to scrabble for evidence that alcohol had fuelled the tragedy. The truth was just visible in the inquiry of Lord Chief Justice Taylor, soon after the disaster; however, much of the media and many politicians preferred the fabricated "evidence" that the behaviour of drunken, ticketless louts caused the loss of life. That calumny has survived two decades, reinforced by snobbery, and contempt for working-class football supporters whom it was alleged had brought it upon themselves.

Regarding the request that the inquest being re-opened so the findings can be changed from accidental death. At the end of the day even with the false statements from the police it is still a tragic accident.
