I agree Methusala, It may just be stated to calm the fears of the public and saying "you're safe". They were into stuff that brought this upon themselves, so everyone else has nothing to worry about.
No you are not wrong and residing states away, I am insulted by even an inference that someone instigated their own death, which is what the officer is saying.
I understand your offense to this, I think it was just a bad choice of words that were intended to quell public fear; that these words were not given much prior thought becuase of their intended message. Similar to "Mission Accomplished" or " bring 'em on" publicly uttered by some other noteworthy "idiot".
Stupidity from people "In Charge" drives me crazy
