He said there would be an increased police presence at the shopping centre and more patrols over the coming days.

Why? Are they expecting this random kid already in custody to go back and commit more? Did the security get around to stopping it last time? Will the increased presence last forever or just long enough for the public to forget? because it’s clearly not there to stop the person already in custody.

Such a meaningless response to the tragedy at hand.
