We live in an open society: the public is entitled to know when the police arrest citizens based on faulty evidence. Nobody made them perform an arrest here or in the other five cases; any damage to the police's image in the eyes of the public can be identified solely with their own actions.
In this situation, the reporting seems pretty dispassionate to me (arguably more than it should be, given that a pregnant woman was arrested for a crime she manifestly could not have committed). I don't see a lack of proportion here.
